Instead of unconditionally allowing the guest to access this feature...

...which immediately translates in quite a bit of sysreg churn on both
host and guest (specially given that these are not banked by exception
level), could we make it a bit more lazy instead?

Even an "enable on first use" would be good, given that it is likely
that we'll have non PAC-enabled VMs for quite a while.

Thoughts?
