[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/9] x86 CPU subclasses

[Eduardo Habkost]

This is basically a x86 CPU subclasses RFC, preceded by some changes that I
would like to include even if this particular approach to the x86 CPU subclasses
doesn't get accepted (so the first patches are marked as PATCH instead of RFC).

The main differences from the RFC sent by Andreas previously is:
 - As we can't guarantee that class_init will get called only after KVM is
   initialized, the class for "host" initializes everything inside instance_init
 - Because of that difference, there's a separate base class for the predefined
   CPU models (TYPE_X86_PREDEF_CPU), that won't be used for TYPE_X86_HOST_CPU.
 - Instead of moving all x86_def_t fields inline to X86CPUClass, I am embedding
   x86_def_t inside PredefX86CPUClass, so kvm_cpu_fill_host() can keep getting
   x86_def_t* as argument, so they can still be used by
   kvm_check_features_against_host() _and_ by the -cpu "host" initialization
   code.

This series is based on:
 - [PATCH 0/2] Fixes for -cpu host KVM/SVM feature initialization
   Message-Id: <address@hidden>
 - [PATCH 00/20 v4] x86 CPU cleanup (wave 2)
   Message-Id: <address@hidden>
