[RFC PATCH 18/18] KVM: Remove cpus_hardware_enabled and related sanity check

From: isaku . yamahata
Date: Sat Aug 20 2022 - 02:02:20 EST


From: Isaku Yamahata <isaku.yamahata@xxxxxxxxx>

cpus_hardware_enabled mask seems incomplete protection against other kernel
component using CPU virtualization feature. Because it's obscure and
incomplete, remove the check.
