And this right there is the dealbreaker:

So what are you doing for cpus which have the advanced CPUID features
leafs but there are no MSRs to turn those bits off?

You surely need some software-only solution for the migration to work,
no?

If so, why not apply that solution to your hypervisor without touching
the kernel at all?

Thanks.
