That's because the userspace application doesn't live in dom0, but in a dedicated privileged domain, and I'm unsure if a CPUID issued there yields the same results as a CPUID issued in dom0. So I thought the safest way is to get the information directly from the hypervisor. Is this assumption incorrect?
