And that's bad. Jeez, seriously. Don't argue this case. We enable new features individually unless we're 100% sure we can keep everything working. In this case an ENABLE_CAP doesn't hurt at all, because user space still needs to handle the hypercalls if it wants them anyways. But you get debugging for free for example.

There are 2 ways of dealing with this:

1) Call the ENABLE_CAP on every vcpu. That way one CPU may handle this hypercall in the kernel while another one may not. The same as we handle PAPR today.

2) Create a new ENABLE_CAP for the vm.

I think in this case option 1 is fine - it's how we handle everything else already.
