+This ioctl returns x86 cpuid features which are emulated by
+kvm.Userspace can use the information returned by this ioctl to query
+which features are emulated by kvm instead of being present natively.
+
+Userspace invokes KVM_GET_EMULATED_CPUID by passing a kvm_cpuid2
+structure with the 'nent' field indicating the number of entries in
+the variable-size array 'entries'. If the number of entries is too low
+to describe the cpu capabilities, an error (E2BIG) is returned. If the
+number is too high, the 'nent' field is adjusted and an error (ENOMEM)
+is returned. If the number is just right, the 'nent' field is adjusted
+to the number of valid entries in the 'entries' array, which is then
+filled.
+
+The entries returned are the set CPUID bits of the respective features
+which kvm emulates, as returned by the CPUID instruction, with unknown
+or unsupported feature bits cleared.
+
+Features like x2apic, for example, may not be present in the host cpu
+but are exposed by kvm in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID because they can be
+emulated efficiently and thus not included here.
+
+The fields in each entry are defined as follows:
+
+ function: the eax value used to obtain the entry
+ index: the ecx value used to obtain the entry (for entries that are
+ affected by ecx)
+ flags: an OR of zero or more of the following:
+ KVM_CPUID_FLAG_SIGNIFCANT_INDEX:
+ if the index field is valid
+ KVM_CPUID_FLAG_STATEFUL_FUNC:
+ if cpuid for this function returns different values for successive
+ invocations; there will be several entries with the same function,
+ all with this flag set
+ KVM_CPUID_FLAG_STATE_READ_NEXT:
+ for KVM_CPUID_FLAG_STATEFUL_FUNC entries, set if this entry is
+ the first entry to be read by a cpu
+ eax, ebx, ecx, edx: the values returned by the cpuid instruction for
+ this function/index combination
