Ah, yes, just poorly worded. What I meant to convey is that from the
perspective the test program the vm_vcpu_add* call that creates the vcpu does
the KVM_SET_SREGS, so there's no way to call KVM_SET_CPUID in advance other
than to have vm_vcpu_add* do it as part of creating the vcpu. I get the
wording fixed up on that.
