What about:

- letting "-cpu foo,+emulatedfeature" just work

- adding emulated=yes that blindly enables all emulated features

- making "-cpu ...,check" prints a warning for emulated features
unless emulated=yes

How about we remove the emulated=yes from this list? Then I'm happy :).

So:

- "-cpu foo" doesn't enable any emulated feature

What if "foo" already has movbe in the CPU model definition?

It will be disabled.


- "-cpu foo,+movbe" does

What if I want movbe enabled if and only if it is _not_ emulated?

Pick a CPU model that has it.

The whole point here is to never ever ever enable an emulated feature
unless it was explicitly what the user wanted.

"+foo" could be enough.

"nice and descriptive message" needs to be better specified. Messages on
stderr are useless for management software.

I'm not sure this feature is for management software users.
