If that means the same as the features which are efficient for the
guest, then I agree. If there's a difference, I'd have thought you'd
normally want the guest to use only those features which work at
near-native performance, not those which involve a trap and long path
through the virtualisation/emulation, even if they're supported. No
example comes to mind, but that seems like the principle to go for, to
me.
