I'm in two minds about this feature reporting. I see they serve a
purpose, but they also duplicate capabilities, which is the standard way
to advertise what KVM can do.

It means we end up having to sync two reporting mechanism, and I feel
this is in general a bad idea.

Furthermore, KVM_ARM_VCPU_POWER_OFF is hardly a feature of the HW, but
rather a firmware emulation thing.

Peter, Christoffer: Thoughts?
