mtrr_state.mtrr_cap isn't directly plumbed to guests. Guests get their own
hardcoded virtualised value for mtrr_cap, set up in arch/x86/hvm/mtrr.c. The
physical mtrr_state.mtrr_cap is only used for interpreting physical MTRR
info as part of PAT/MTRR virtualisation. So all looks correct to me as is.
