It is currently not possible, but adding it would be possible: the first 
  step is to modify the cpu init in target-i386/helper2.c to disable 
most of the cpuid bits. The second step is to modify 
target-i386/translate.c to test every cpuid bit (it is not done for all 
instructions: I did it mostly for MMX/SSE).
