[Qemu-devel] [Bug 655555] [NEW] "-cpu ?" doesn't work as documented

[Martin von Gagern]

Public bug reported:

I've got qemu-kvm 0.12.5 on Gentoo Linux on an amd64 host. Both HTML
documentation and compiled-in command line help state that "-cpu ?"
should give me a list of possible values for the -cpu command line
switch. In fact that switch results in an error message: "Unable to find
x86 CPU definition".

Either the documentation or the implementation should be adjusted
accordingly.
