I believe we have discussed and reviewed this earlier too.

To summarize this feature, the host indicates if it supports the Live
Migration feature and the feature and the hypercall are only enabled on
the host when the guest checks for this support and does a wrmsrl() to
enable the feature. Also the guest will not make the hypercall if the
host does not indicate support for it.

And these were your review comments on the above :
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.

So as you mentioned, userspace can still override these and it gets a
chance to decide whether or not this should be enabled.

Thanks,
Ashish
