[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V2] forward cpuid leaves when using -cpu host

[Benoît Canet]

This patch uses directly cpuid_host to forward the informations instead of
storing a variable number of leaves in the cpu states.

since v1:
   use index as argument to cpuid_host

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V2] i386: forward CPUID cache leaves when -cpu host is used

[Benoît Canet]

Some users running cpu intensive tasks checking the cache CPUID leaves at
startup and making decisions based on the result reported that the guest was
not reflecting the host CPUID leaves when -cpu host is used.

This patch fix this.
