That's /proc/cpuinfo, we should just extend it, maybe that's what Alex meant,

I think we're all looking at different use-cases.
First and frontmost the one type of user I'm concerned with in this case is a
mortal end-user who doesn't know that much about virtualization details and
doesn't care what NPT is. He just wants to have a VM running and wants to know
how well it'll work.
It really depends on what he does with it. 3D gaming? might have a different
experience from the always exciting kernel builds.
Well, we can give an estimation (based on previous measurements) for certain
subsystems. Like I proposed in the original mail, we can actually give users
information about virtual CPU speed.
