> Right now CRaC will refuse to restore from the image if it is not compatible with current CPU as it assumes extra features. This check can be only relaxed with -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+IgnoreCPUFeatures.
> 
> In scenarios with -XX:CRaCIgnoreRestoreIfUnavailable it might be favorable to skip the restore and proceed with running the application from scratch with all CPU features if the image has these restricted. Therefore I propose to create a new option -XX:CheckCPUFeatures with these values:
> * compatible - this is the current behaviour (default)
> * exact - require CPU features from the image to match perfectly
> * skip - the same behaviour as `-XX:+IgnoreCPUFeatures`.
> 
> The current `-XX:+IgnoreCPUFeatures` option will be deprecated.
