Quite obviously this heavily conflicts with my patchset for Prerna's
problem...

No. Alex wanted these macros to abstract all the QOM business, so make
that "POWER7" if you need it here and assembly the type name inside the
macro. I'll have a closer look later. We already have the POWER7
argument so I find this redundant. If we need more families we can
simply add them, such as POWER7P.

If you read the previous discussion on the initial POWER7+ patch, I
believe I had proposed major-version / minor-version or so properties at
family level, to be able to use different implementations or none at all
where we don't see a scheme. However if we want to use that from -cpu as
in your example above, we would have to implement custom parsing code
for cpu_model, which I would rather avoid, given we want to replace it
with -device in the future.

But maybe I didn't fully catch the exact question. :)

The custom parenting strikes me as a wrong consequence of us not having
fully QOM'ified / cleaned up the family classes yet. We had discussed
two ways: Either have, e.g., POWER7+ inherit from POWER7 (which looks
like the only reason this is being done here) and/or have, e.g., POWER5+
copy and modify 970fx values via #defines.
