Ah ok. scan_features() clears the feature if the bit is not set in
pa-features. So it should work find for powervm. I'll verify the same
thing happens in case of baremetal where we use cpu-features not
pa-features. If it works in baremetal as well, will put it in
CPU_FTRS_POWER10.

Thanks for the clarification,
