You just need the right QOM type name (in x86 it is
"<model>-x86_64-cpu" or "<model>-i386-cpu"). I will send a patch
that includes a "qom-type" field in CpuDefinitionInfo
(query-cpu-definitions) so you know what's the right QOM type
name to query.

I think device-list-properties won't work with an abstract base
type like "x86_64-cpu" or "i386-cpu". But I think it's better
query the right class name for the CPU model you plan to use,
anyway (this way architecture code will be able to have different
CPU models supporting different sets of options, if necessary).
