For better or worse, KVM's ABI allows userspace to set CPUID after SREGS, and vice versa, and KVM is very permissive when it comes to guest CPUID. I.e. attempting to enforce the virtual CPU model when setting CPUID could break userspace. Given that the WARN doesn't provide any meaningful protection for KVM or benefit for userspace, simply drop it even though the odds of breaking userspace are minuscule. Opportunistically delete a spurious newline.
