From: Pierre Morel <pmorel@linux.ibm.com>
The modification of the CPU attributes are done through a monitor
command.
It allows to move the core inside the topology tree to optimize
the cache usage in the case the host's hypervisor previously
moved the CPU.
The same command allows to modify the CPU attributes modifiers
like polarization entitlement and the dedicated attribute to notify
the guest if the host admin modified scheduling or dedication of a vCPU.
With this knowledge the guest has the possibility to optimize the
usage of the vCPUs.
The command has a feature unstable for the moment.
