When starting a domain with custom guest CPU specification QEMU may add
or remove some CPU features. There are several reasons for this, e.g.,
QEMU/KVM does not support some requested features or the definition of
the requested CPU model in libvirt's cpu_map.xml differs from the one
QEMU is using. We can't really avoid this because CPU models are allowed
to change with machine types and libvirt doesn't know (and probably
doesn't even want to know) about such changes.
Thus when we want to make sure guest ABI doesn't change when a domain
gets migrated to another host, we need to update our live CPU definition
according to the CPU QEMU created. Once updated, we will change CPU
checking to VIR_CPU_CHECK_FULL to make sure the virtual CPU created
after migration exactly matches the one on the source.

When creating host CPU definition usable with a given emulator, the CPU
should not be defined using an unsupported CPU model. The new @models
and @nmodels parameters can be used to limit CPU models which can be
used in the result.

The parameter can be used to request either VIR_CPU_TYPE_HOST (which has
been assumed so far) or VIR_CPU_TYPE_GUEST definition.

cpuNodeData has always been followed by cpuDecode as no hypervisor
driver is really interested in raw CPUID data for a host CPU. Let's
create a new CPU driver API which returns virCPUDefPtr directly.

All Intel Haswell processors (except Xeon E7 v3 with stepping >= 4) have
TSX disabled by microcode update. As not all CPUs are guaranteed to be
patched with microcode updates we need to explicitly disable TSX on
affected CPUs to avoid its accidental usage.

The CPU driver provides APIs to create and free virCPUDataPtr. Thus all
APIs exported from the driver should work with that rather than
requiring the caller to pass a pointer to an internal part of the
structure.
In other words
virCPUx86DataAddCPUID(cpudata, &cpuid)
is much better than the original
virCPUx86DataAddCPUID(&cpudata->data.x86, &cpuid)

The new API is called virCPUDataFree. Individual CPU drivers are no
longer required to implement their own freeing function unless they need
to free architecture specific data from virCPUData.

virCPUDef.arch is not required to be filled in for guest CPU
definitions. It doesn't make sense to artificially mandate it to be set
when cpuDecode is called especially when virCPUData.arch passed to
cpuDecode already contains the architecture.

Strings associated with virDomainHyperv values in domain_conf.c are used to
construct HyperV CPU features names to be compared with names defined in
cpu_x86_data.h and the names for HyperV "spinlocks" feature don't match.
This leads to a misleading warning:
"host doesn't support hyperv 'spinlocks' feature" even when it's supported.
Let's fix it and rename along with it VIR_CPU_x86_KVM_HV_SPINLOCK to
VIR_CPU_x86_KVM_HV_SPINLOCKS.

virCPUDefStealModel is called with keepVendor == true which means the
cpu structure will keep its original vendor/vendor_id values. Thus it
makes no sense to copy them to the translated definition as they won't
be used there anyway. Except that the translated->vendor pointer might
get lost in x86Decode.

On s390, the host's features are heavily influenced by not only the host
hardware but also by hardware microcode level, host OS version, qemu

Implement compare for s390. Required to test the guest against the host for
guest cpu model runnability checking. We always return IDENTICAL to bypass
Libvirt's checking. s390 will rely on Qemu to perform the runnability checking.

We can't change feature names for compatibility reasons even if they
contain typos or other software uses different names for the same
features. By adding alternative spellings in our CPU map we at least
allow anyone to grep for them and find the correct libvirt's name.

We have couple of functions that operate over NULL terminated
lits of strings. However, our naming sucks:
virStringJoin
virStringFreeList
virStringFreeListCount
virStringArrayHasString
virStringGetFirstWithPrefix
We can do better:
virStringListJoin
virStringListFree
virStringListFreeCount
virStringListHasString
virStringListGetFirstWithPrefix

Guest CPU definitions with mode='custom' and missing <vendor> are
expected to run on a host CPU from any vendor as long as the required
CPU model can be used as a guest CPU on the host. But even though no CPU
vendor was explicitly requested we would sometimes force it due to a bug
in virCPUUpdate and virCPUTranslate.
The bug would effectively forbid cross vendor migrations even if they
were previously working just fine.

Both cpuCompare* APIs are renamed to virCPUCompare*. And they should now
work for any guest CPU definition, i.e., even for host-passthrough

The reworked API is now called virCPUUpdate and it should change the
provided CPU definition into a one which can be consumed by the QEMU
command line builder:
- host-passthrough remains unchanged
- host-model is turned into custom CPU with a model and features
copied from host
- custom CPU with minimum match is converted similarly to host-model
- optional features are updated according to host's CPU
