I agree with your concerns and feedback but as I remember from our last
KVM/ARM telco, we agreed that I should not wait for the -cpu host support
to become available and post the next patch series anyways.

Also there are multiple patches under review for providing the -cpu host
or equivalent support in QEMU and/or KVM such as the one posted by Peter
Maydell and another CPU=Host patch from Anup Patel. We will update our patch
series, once we have consensus on which implementation to actually use for
providing the -cpu host support.
