That's because the userspace application doesn't live in dom0, but in a
dedicated privileged domain, and I'm unsure if a CPUID issued there
yields the same results as a CPUID issued in dom0. So I thought the
safest way is to get the information directly from the hypervisor. Is
this assumption incorrect?
