There are 2 ways of dealing with this:

  1) Call the ENABLE_CAP on every vcpu. That way one CPU may handle
this hypercall in the kernel while another one may not. The same as we
handle PAPR today.

  2) Create a new ENABLE_CAP for the vm.

I think in this case option 1 is fine - it's how we handle everything
else already.
So, you are now asking him to chose between a gross horror or adding a
new piece of infrastructure for something that is entirely pointless to
begin with ?

Come on, give him a break. That stuff is fine as it is.
