 This capability governs the KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND ioctl and the
 KVM_MP_STATE_LOAD MP_STATE. KVM_SET_MP_STATE can fail for protected

+-----------------------
+
+:Architectures: arm64, x86
+
+This capability indicates that KVM supports steal time accounting.
+When steal time accounting is supported it may be enabled with
+architecture-specific interfaces.  This capability and the architecture-
+specific interfaces must be consistent, i.e. if one says the feature
+is supported, than the other should as well and vice versa.  For arm64
+see Documentation/virt/kvm/devices/vcpu.rst "KVM_ARM_VCPU_PVTIME_CTRL".
+For x86 see Documentation/virt/kvm/msr.rst "MSR_KVM_STEAL_TIME".
