[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/8] cpus: make "-cpu cpux, features" global properties

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

Current CLI option -cpu cpux,features serves as template
for all created cpus of type: cpux. However QEMU parses
"features" every time it creates a cpu instance and applies
them to it while doing parsing.

That doesn't work well with -device/device_add infrastructure
as it has no idea about cpu specific hooks that's used for
parsing "features".
In order to make -device/device_add utilize "-cpu features"
template convert it into a set of global properties, so that
every new CPU created will have them applied automatically.

That also allows to parse features only once, instread of
doing it for every CPU instance created.


Igor Mammedov (8):
  target-i386: cpu: move features logic that requires CPUState to
    realize time
  target-i386: cpu: move xcc->kvm_required check to reaize time
  target-i386: cpu: use cpu_generic_init() in cpu_x86_init()
  target-i386: cpu: consolidate calls of object_property_parse() in
    x86_cpu_parse_featurestr
  target-sparc: cpu: use sparc_cpu_parse_features() directly
  cpu: use CPUClass->parse_features() as convertor to global properties
  arm: virt: parse cpu_model only once
  pc: parse cpu features only once
