By default, KVM allows the guest to use all currently supported PV features even when they were not announced in guest visible CPUIDs. Introduce a new "kvm-pv-enforce-cpuid" flag to limit the supported feature set to the exposed features. The feature is supported by Linux >= 5.10 and is not enabled by default in QEMU.
