[PATCH v2 0/2] ppc: Rename power5+ and power7+ for the new QOM naming rules

[PATCH v2 0/2] ppc: Rename power5+ and power7+ for the new QOM naming rules

[Thomas Huth]

We can get rid of the "power5+" / "power7+" hack in qom/object.c
by using CPU aliases for those names instead (first patch).

I think in the long run, we should get rid of the names with a "+"
in it completely, so the second patch suggests to deprecate those,
but I'd also be fine if we keep the aliases around, so in that case
please ignore the second patch.

v2:
 - Use "power5p" / "power7p" instead of "power5plus" / "power7plus"

[PATCH v2 1/2] target/ppc/cpu-models: Rename power5+ and power7+ for new QOM naming rules

[Thomas Huth]

The character "+" is now forbidden in QOM device names (see commit
b447378e1217 - "Limit type names to alphanumerical and some few special
characters"). For the "power5+" and "power7+" CPU names, there is
currently a hack in type_name_is_valid() to still allow them for
compatibility reasons. However, there is a much nicer solution for this:
Simply use aliases! This way we can still support the old names without
the need for the ugly hack in type_name_is_valid().
