OK. That sounds weird to me as we do many checks accross different IDREG
settings but we may eventually have a wrong "CPU model" exposed by the
user space violating those spec revision minima. Shouldn't we introduce
some way for the userspace to provide his requirements? via new VCPU
targets for instance?

Ah OK, I did not catch it at first glance while looking at the ARM ARM.

Thanks
