I agree; I think we need logic to check the ID register fields against their EXACT, {LOWER,HIGHER}_SAFE, etc rules regardless of whether we have an associated cap. That can then abort a late onlining of a CPU which violates those rules w.r.t. the finalised system value. I suspect that we may want to split the notion of safe-for-{user,kernel-guest} in the feature tables, as if nothing else it will force us to consider those cases separately when adding new stuff.
