Eduardo submitted patches[1] for qemu implementing -no-user-config as a better alternative to all-or-nothing -nodefconfig. With this new option, we are finally able to use modern CPU models defined in qemu's configuration file without allowing user-supplied qemu configuration to mess up with qemu processes started by libvirt. The qemu patches are not committed upstream yet (and this patchset won't be committed either until qemu support is finished) but they are very close and are expected to make it into qemu-1.1.
