### Changes since v1
1. Removed VIA-related information from the patch description to avoid
misunderstanding.
2. Replaced CPUID_VENDOR_VIA with CPUID_VENDOR_ZHAOXIN1 because the
"Centaurhauls" vendor ID now belongs to Zhaoxin.The previous CPUID_VENDOR_VIA
macro was only defined but never used in QEMU, making this change
straightforward.

### Known Issues
1. Issue with VMX Preemption Timer Rate on Yongfeng CPU:
- Description: On Yongfeng CPUs, the VMX preemption timer rate is 128,
meaning that bits 4:0 of MSR_IA32_VMX_MISC_CTLS should be set to 7.
However, due to Intel's rate being 5, the Linux kernel has hardcoded
this value as 5: `#define VMX_MISC_EMULATED_PREEMPTION_TIMER_RATE 5`.
- Impact: This discrepancy can cause incorrect behavior in the VMX
preemption timer on Yongfeng CPUs.
- Workaround: A patch to correct this issue in the Linux kernel is
currently being prepared and will be submitted soon.
