See commit 33b5e8c03ae7 for reference. The differences will be: * Instead of removing RDTSCP from builtin_x86_defs, you'll be adding it. * Instead of adding rdtscp=on entries to PC_COMPAT_2_4, you'll be adding rdtscp=off entries to PC_COMPAT_3_1. PC_COMPAT_3_1 is added by the patch that creates the 4.0 machine-types. You can find it on my machine-next branch at: http://github.com/ehabkost/qemu -- Eduardo
