is not coming in a good way.
The idea was to avoid manual code rework in QEMU and
expose collected model at least for debug.

KVM_GET_CPUID2 as a VM ioctl cannot expose the whole truth about CPUID either, since it doesn't handle the TSX_CTRL_CPUID_CLEAR bit. Given that QEMU doesn't need KVM_GET_CPUID2; it only needs to save whatever it passed to KVM_SET_CPUID2.
