Does this mean the different ISA cores in heterogeneous machine?
And is this case for TCG?

About this kind of heterogeneous machine with multiple CPUs, is there
any initial configuration command line example?

I'm not sure how to configure this case...The main unsure thing is
whether the configuration is based on the granularity of the CPU
(by "-cpu") or the granularity of the core device (by "-device
xxx-core").
