Hmm, we have some weird behaviours here: --enable-ptrauth
--disable-ptrauth will result in us trying to enable it, and
--enable-ptrauth without the required caps will result in an unhelpful
"Unable to initialise vcpu" error message. I'm not sure this is a
whole lot worse than the way other options behave today, though.
You could try to be more explicit about what happens in these cases, but
I'm not sure it's worth it given the state of the existing code.
