If x86_cpu_compat_set_features(), x86_cpu_list() and
arch_query_cpu_definitions() get fixed to no longer operate on the old
builtin_x86_defs[] but on object_class_foreach() or similar functions,
then you can register special CPU types in x86_cpu_register_types(),
like we do for the KVM host type already.

In this case I imagined a custom class_init with an &= ~... operation.
But I wasn't aware we're still using the array in so many places! :/

Andreas
