It's possible it got stuck in my mail box. Seems like we have got our wires crossed on this... I also have an implementation going in parallel for virsh cpu-comparison I have been working under Bug 1511996 - Implement "virsh cpu-compare" for s390x. As you mentioned the requirements for both are similar in that 1) Both functions work with cpu model info 2) Both functions require a qemu instance to be spun up during execution. I took a look at your code for cpu-comparison. 1) Seems like it will be good to compare and contrast how both of us spin up the qemu instance for best practice 2) Looks like you translate between XML --- virCpuDef --- qemu qmp JSON I ended up just going straight from XML --- qemu qmp JSON Think there is an open question about which approach is best. I have only pushed the qmp JSON functions to libvirt-list so far. (In fact I just pushed v2 if you have a moment to look again.) However I have the rest of the code for baseline, including launching the qemu instance, working and nearly ready to push. I guess at this point I think it might be best to just finish pushing the rest of the code for baseline and see what the feedback is and to make it available for you to look at. I am especially interested in getting feedback from community on skipping the virCpuDef step in the XML to JSON translations. Then we could revisit and address any delta between baseline and cpu-comparison. If straight XML to JSON is sufficient we might want to leverage more of what I have. If the virCpuDef step is needed then leverage more of yours. Either way try and make the QEMU spin up as clean as possible. That seem good to you?
