[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] target-i386: Support migratable=no properly

[Eduardo Habkost]

When the "migratable" property was implemented, the behavior was tested
by changing the default on the code, but actually using the option on
the command-line (e.g. "-cpu host,migratable=false") doesn't work as
expected. This is a regression for a common use case of "-cpu host",
which is to enable features that are supported by the host CPU + kernel
before feature-specific code is added to QEMU.

Fix this by initializing the feature words for "-cpu host" on
x86_cpu_parse_featurestr(), right after parsing the CPU options.

I was considering a more complex (but less hacky) fix, by introducing an
enum FeatureBit { OFF, ON, HOST }, making FeatureWord a 32-element
FeatureBit array, and initializing the actual feature bits on
x86_cpu_realizefn(). But as this is a patch for qemu-stable, I kept the
fix as simple as possible.
