+This queries KVM for preferred CPU target type which can be emulated

+The ioctl returns struct kvm_vcpu_init instance containing information
+about preferred CPU target type and recommended features for it. The
+kvm_vcpu_init->features bitmap returned will have feature bits set if
+the preferred target recommends setting these features, but this is
+not mandatory.
+
+The information returned by this ioctl can be used to prepare an instance
