Also there are multiple patches under review for providing the -cpu host or equivalent support in QEMU and/or KVM such as the one posted by Peter Maydell and another CPU=Host patch from Anup Patel. We will update our patch series, once we have consensus on which implementation to actually use for providing the -cpu host support. -- Hamayun
