Preferably, print the leading dashes, the same as the user would see
on the command line (e.g., --enable-ptrauth, --disable-ptrauth).
For brevity, we could write something like:
die("--enable-ptrauth conflicts with --disable-ptrauth");

We don't special-case this error message for any other feature yet:
there are a variety of reasons why we might have failed, so suggesting
that the failure is something to do with ptrauth may be misleading to
the user.
If we want to be more informative, we could do something like the
following:
bool supported;
supported = kvm__supports_extension(kvm, KVM_CAP_ARM_PTRAUTH_ADDRESS) &&
kvm__supports_extension(kvm, KVM_CAP_ARM_PTRAUTH_GENERIC);
if (kvm->cfg.arch.enable_ptrauth && !supported)
die("--enable-ptrauth not supported on this host");
if (supported && !kvm->cfg.arch.disable_ptrauth)
vcpu_init.features[0] |= ARM_VCPU_PTRAUTH_FEATURE;
/* ... */
if (err || target->init(vcpu))
die("Unable to initialise vcpu");
We don't do this for any other feature today, but since it helps the
user to understand what went wrong it's probably a good idea.
[...]
