+7.7 KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API
+
+Architectures: x86
+Parameters: args[0] - features that should be enabled

+Valid feature flags in args[0] are

+Enabling KVM_X2APIC_API_USE_32BIT_IDS changes the behavior of
+KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING, KVM_SIGNAL_MSI, KVM_SET_LAPIC, and KVM_GET_LAPIC,
+allowing the use of 32-bit APIC IDs. See KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API in their
+respective sections.
+
+KVM_X2APIC_API_DISABLE_BROADCAST_QUIRK must be enabled for x2APIC to work
+in logical mode or with more than 255 VCPUs. Otherwise, KVM treats 0xff
+as a broadcast even in x2APIC mode in order to support physical x2APIC
+without interrupt remapping. This is undesirable in logical mode,
+where 0xff represents CPUs 0-7 in cluster 0.

+7.8 KVM_CAP_S390_USER_INSTR0
+
+Architectures: s390
+Parameters: none
+
+With this capability enabled, all illegal instructions 0x0000 (2 bytes) will
+be intercepted and forwarded to user space. User space can use this
+mechanism e.g. to realize 2-byte software breakpoints. The kernel will
+not inject an operating exception for these instructions, user space has
+to take care of that.
+
+This capability can be enabled dynamically even if VCPUs were already
+created and are running.
