I'm very much against having -cpu Nehalem.  The whole point of this is
to make things easier for a user and for most of the users I've
encountered, -cpu Nehalem is just as obscure as -cpu
qemu64,-sse3,+vmx,...

What name will these users know?  FWIW, it makes sense to me as it is.
Whatever is in /proc/cpuinfo.
That doesn't exactly generalize to families w/ similar cpuid features.

Intel(R) Xeon(R) {E,L,X}{74,55}**
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 {Duo,Quad,Extreme} ...

Then we should key off of family and model.

So -cpu AMD_Family_10h

or something like that.  At least that is discoverable by a user.
