I am coming back to this and I think it may be better to just piggyback
on the ones that exist.
On x86 it is simple - just pick the most common one. On ARM - I have no clue?
Also having an 'LIVEPATCH_TEST" cpu configuration bit means it can be exposed
via the framework to domctl users. And that seems rather odd.
