Some guests cannot find the KVM leaves at 0x40000100, so it wouldn't be great. And I also don't know what VMware folks would think, but I think they would be even less thrilled than me. Note that even if there is no well-defined CPUID leaf, and the main detection mechanism is #GP, each hypervisor is free to define a CPUID bit of its own. However, if it's going to be an architectural (Intel-defined) MSR, I think the right place for a feature bit is in the low leaves (like EAX=7, ECX=0).
