We would just need to make sure every bit poisition used either
0 or 1, and not 'x', so that we are fully overriding whatever
defaults are presented by the hypervisor "host" CPU model. Or is
life more complicated than that ?
This is what v1 of this series had... See discussion there, especially
message from Jiri:

And this, from... you:

This is not only about 'x'. But also about setting '1' where hardware
does not really support given feature. This will also result in "broken"
CPU.
