Ah, I see. In this case we need to honor boot_cpu_data. The idea is
that a feature should not be exposed to the guest, i.e. actually used,
if it has been explicitly disabled by the user, e.g. to workaround a
hardware or firmware issue. The cases where a feature is exposed to
the guest even when disabled in host is when said feature is emulated
by KVM in software.
