Subject: [PATCH v4 for-11.2 09/10] target/arm: Directly store cpu probe failure error
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 14:13:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261030131406.461599-10-eric.auger@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261030131406.461599-1-eric.auger@redhat.com>

In case *_arm_host_cpu_features() fails, we currently
record that state in cpu->host_cpu_probe_failed to later
report the error on realize().

Replace the boolean by an error handle to allow
more relevant error reports.
