I had something similar in mind but then I realized that we need at
least a cpu_model and a cpu_model_kvm to distinguish between the TCG and
the KVM case.
Further the QEMUMachine data structure is used for all architectures in
QEMU and the model-names only make sense for x86. So I decided for the
comapt-version way (which doesn't mean I object against this one ;-) )
