This paragraph is not true with this patch being before "KVM: Rename and
move CPUHP_AP_KVM_STARTING to ONLINE section".

Argh, good eyes.  Getting the ordering correct in this series has been quite the
struggle.  Assuming there are no subtle dependencies between x86 and common KVM,
the ordering should be something like this:

It's not a problem to keep the ordering in this v1, just fix the commit message like "Do compatibility checks when enabling hardware to effectively add compatibility checks on CPU hotplug. For now KVM is using a STARTING hook, which makes it impossible to abort the hotplug if the new CPU is incompatible with the known good setup; switching to an ONLINE hook will fix this."
