I used the verb 'specify' to indicate that there is an _action_ to be taken. To my non-native ears: "to explicitly require" sounds slightly odd when asking to take an action.
But I'll defer to your native tounge intuition.
FWIW: I noted require because the generated XML in the example is:
<feature policy='require' name='pcid'/>
I'm OK with the change from v3, but the XML is what I was keying off. Essentially the line (to me) says, this domain requires a CPU that is required to have the 'pcid' feature. Perhaps just being too literal though.
IMO, "requiring a CPU" is not the important part. The most important consequence of <feature/> is changing what exactly the guest will see on the virtual CPU. On most cases, this requires a host CPU that provides the feature, but it's just a consequence of how it works, not the main goal. -- Eduardo
