* **Improvements**
* Add ``vendor`` attribute for CPU models in domain capabilities
Users can now see the vendor of each CPU model in domain capabilities and
use it, e.g., for filtering usable CPU models based on host CPU vendor.
* virsh: Add ``--model`` option for ``hypervisor-cpu-baseline``
This is a shortcut for calling ``hypervisor-cpu-baseline`` with a single
CPU model and no additional features. It can be used for determining which
features block a particular CPU model from being usable.
* Improved documentation of CPU ``usable`` attribute in domain capabilities
* **Bug fixes**
* qemu: Disable all blocker features in CPU baseline
Three years ago QEMU renamed some CPU features (mostly those containing
an underscore). When such renamed feature was reported by QEMU as blocking
usability of a CPU model, we would fail to explicitly disable it when
creating a baseline CPU definition using this model. This bug did not have
any functional impact when the default ``check='partial'`` attribute was
used for guest CPU definition in domain XML, but it could have caused
failures to start a domain with ``check='full'`` in some cases.
