Why unconditionally? From what I can tell from KVM patches (please correct
me if I'm wrong) guests need to be modified to utilize HFI/ITD. Do we
also have to enable HFI/ITD if no such guest run on virtual machine ?

In general similar principle should be applied - do not enable if not
needed. We should be able to get information from KVM when there is
actual need. QEMU registering to thermal events seems to be odd for
me, and I think there must be better solution.
