Yep, that is an implementation detail and I don't depend on that. If a sequence would be required
one cold model a field named "order". But as said, I don't require that and will update the
comment by dropping the "sorted list" part.

I did rename that one time to often :-), will s/id/name/g ...

It will be always provided when an accelerator supports cpu models and implements the
probing mode. As I'm currently adopting it for s390/kvm only, I can't enforce it for all
other arch/accelerator combinations as it is an extension of an existing command...
