Subject: [PATCH v4 26/26] RFC: KVM: Remove cpus_hardware_enabled and related sanity check

From: Isaku Yamahata <[email protected]>

cpus_hardware_enabled mask seems incomplete protection against other kernel
component using CPU virtualization feature. Because it's obscure and
incomplete, remove the check.
