[Qemu-devel] [RFC 4/5] target-i386: Make CPU objects user-creatable

[Eduardo Habkost]

Creating X86CPU objects using object-add will allow management code to
probe for details on each CPU model when using "-machine none", and
without having to restart QEMU.

Note that object-add will _not_ create a running VCPU. It is not CPU
hotplug, which will use device_add instead of object-add. It will just
allow some information about the CPU object to be queried from the CPU
object, without starting an actual VCPU thread.
