That is a policy decision for applications to make. libvirt should expose
the fine grained named  CPU models + arbitrary flags, and other bits of
info as appropriate (eg formal model for core/socket topology). Apps can
decide whether they want to turn that into a higher level concept where
admins pick one of a handful of common setups, or expose the full level
of control
