Hi,

this set of patches attempts to implement a CPU definition set for 
current Intel CPUs that resembles an original as closely as currently 
possible. Several features a current Intel CPU has are not implemented 
by qemu, but that should not keep us from adding this definition so 
people can add features later on.

As a side effect, I made the sysenter instruction 64-bit aware. This was 
an issue in KVM, that used the 32-bit cpu struct variables to hold 
64-bit MSR  values sysenter needs. I believe it to be a step in the 
right direction to not fix this only for KVM, but make the functionality 
available to qemu as well.

Version 2 adds save/load. Only the sysenter implementation has changed.

Alex
