[PATCH v6 0/8] Unified CPU type check

[Gavin Shan <gshan@redhat.com>]

This series bases on Phil's repository because the prepatory commits
have been queued to the branch.

  https://gitlab.com/philmd/qemu.git (branch: cpus-next)

There are two places where the user specified CPU type is checked to see
if it's supported or allowed by the board: machine_run_board_init() and
mc->init(). We don't have to maintain two duplicate sets of logic. This
series intends to move the check to machine_run_board_init() so that we
have unified CPU type check.

PATCH[1-3] refactors the logic to validate CPU type in machine_run_board_init()
PATCH[4-8] validates the CPU type in machine_run_board_init() for the
           individual boards

Testing
=======

With the following command lines, the output messages are varied before
and after the series is applied.

  ./build/qemu-system-aarch64            \
  -accel tcg -machine virt,gic-version=3 \
  -cpu cortex-a8 -smp maxcpus=2,cpus=1

Before the series is applied:

  qemu-system-aarch64: mach-virt: CPU type cortex-a8-arm-cpu not supported

After the series is applied:

  qemu-system-aarch64: Invalid CPU type: cortex-a8-arm-cpu
  The valid models are: cortex-a7, cortex-a15, cortex-a35, cortex-a55,
                        cortex-a72, cortex-a76, a64fx, neoverse-n1,
                        neoverse-v1, cortex-a53, cortex-a57, max
