Currently KVM doesn't simulate scattered features (the ones in CPUID_LNX_* in cpuid_leafs) as reverse_cpuid[] doesn't contain CPUID_LNX_*.
After the X86_FEATURES_CQM_* features are changed to scattered features, they will not be simulated by KVM any more as CPUID_F_0_EDX and CPUID_F_1_EDX are removed.
Should patch #1 simulate X86_FEATURE_CQM_* in KVM? Or let KVM guys handle the scattered features?
Thanks.
