I'm not sure we're in a position to do this right now. The current API
has always (for good or bad reasons) been per-vcpu as it is tied to
the vcpu initialisation.
However, once we move to a sysreg-based API to control the vcpu
features, we can revisit this and say that some features have a
VM-wide effect if the vcpus have been created with some special flag
(or some other TBD mechanism).
Thanks,
M.
