Right now everything in the vcpu is emulated in the kernel. Everything else is emulated either in the kernel (irqchip) or in userspace. This makes things easier to understand, and is more future friendly if more cpu features become virtualized by hardware.

Except cpuid, which is handled in userspace, sort of :-) I think the same arguments apply here too.

No, cpuid is handled in the kernel (exactly to have everything cpuish in kernel). It is *configured* from userspace, but then so is everything.
