This series extends query-cpu-definitions to include an extra field: "unavailable-features". The new field can be used to find out reasons that prevent the CPU model from running in the current host. This will return information based on the current machine and accelerator only. In the future we may extend these mechanisms to allow querying other machines and other accelerators without restarting QEMU, but it will require some reorganization of QEMU's main code. To be able to implement this more cleanly, the series rework some of the feature/property name code. This series can be seen in the git branch at: https://github.com/ehabkost/qemu-hacks.git work/query-cpu-definitions-runnable-info The series is based on my x86-next branch: https://github.com/ehabkost/qemu.git x86-next Changes v3 -> v4: * Removed patch "Define CPUID filtering functions before x86_cpu_list" * New patch: "tests: Add test case for x86 feature parsing compatibility" * New patch: "target-i386: Disable VME by default with TCG" * Disable VME by default on TCG to avoid returning bogus results for all CPU models in TCG mode * New patch: "target-i386: Make plus_features/minus_features QOM-based" * New patch: "target-i386: Remove underscores from property names" * New patch: "target-i386: Register properties for feature aliases manually" * New patch: "target-i386: xsave: Add FP and SSE bits to x86_ext_save_areas" * New patch: "target-i386: x86_cpu_load_features() function" * On patch: "target-i386: Return runnability information on query-cpu-definitions" * Added code to handle unsupported XSAVE components cleanly * Use x86_cpu_load_features() function Changes v2 -> v3: * Small documentation reword * Suggested-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@xxxxxxxxxx> * Create a x86_cpu_feature_name() function, to isolate the code that returns the property name Changes v1 -> v2: * Fixed documentation to say "(since 2.7)" * Removed @runnable field, improved documentation Example command output: { "return": [ { "unavailable-features": [], "static": false, "name": "host" }, { "unavailable-features": [], "static": false, "name":
