Ahh, awesome, I see I misunderstood how the CPUID bits get passed
through: usermode can still override them. Forgot about the back and
forth for CPUID with usermode. My point about informing the guest
kernel is clearly moot. The host still needs the ability to prevent
allocations, but that is more minor. Maybe use a flag on the memslots
directly?
