 This queries KVM for preferred CPU target type which can be emulated
 by KVM on underlying host.
 
-The ioctl returns struct kvm_vcpu_init instance containing information
-about preferred CPU target type and recommended features for it.  The
-kvm_vcpu_init->features bitmap returned will have feature bits set if
-the preferred target recommends setting these features, but this is
-not mandatory.
+The ioctl returns a struct kvm_vcpu_init instance containing the
+preferred CPU target type. The kvm_vcpu_init->features bitmap is
+returned empty: userspace selects the vCPU features itself, and their
+availability is reported by the capabilities listed under
+KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
 
 The information returned by this ioctl can be used to prepare an instance
 of struct kvm_vcpu_init for KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl which will result in
