[Qemu-devel] [RFC 0/6] x86 CPU subclasses, v4

[Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>]

This is a new RFC for the x86 CPU subclasses. This version handles the "host"
subclass differently, and I believe this made the code much simpler.

However, a few tricks were necessary:

 - To keep the "default_kvm_features" compat functions working (this shouldn't
   be necessary once we start using global properties for the compat code).
 - For the vendor property setting (because it depends on a kvm_enabled() check,
   that can't be made on class_init). I don't know how we will be able to
   convert that logic using global properties/defaults in the future.
 - To keep the original model names in the "-cpu ?" output, for compatibility.

This series depends on multiple series:
 - pc-1.4 kvm_mmu_opt disable series I sent today;
 - -cpu "enforce" fix series I sent today;
 - A experimental rebased version of Igor's "wave 2" x86 CPU init cleanup.

Because of the tricky dependencies, I recommend you use the git tree for testing:
