For completeness of which query-cpu-definitions field, exactly?
There's no field in the return value of query-cpu-definitions
that would be affected by the AMD aliases. The AMD aliases don't
affect runnability of the CPU model because they aren't included
in the GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID check[1].

You would be right if we did return a copy of the low-level CPUID
data that's seen by the guest, or if the AMD aliases were set up
before x86_cpu_filter_features() (so they could affect
filtered_features/unavailable-features), but that's not the case.

[1] They aren't included in the GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID check because
    the existence of the AMD aliases depend only on the
    configured guest vendor ID, not on the host CPU.
