For Intel and PowerPC the implementation is calling a cpu driver
function across driver layers (i.e. from qemu driver directly to cpu
driver).
The correct behavior is to use libvirt API functionality to perform such
a inter-driver call.
This patch introduces a new cpu driver API function getModels() to
retrieve the cpu models. The currect implementation to process the
cpu_map XML content is transferred to the INTEL and PowerPC cpu driver
specific API functions.
Additionally processing the cpu_map XML file is not safe due to the fact
that the cpu map does not exist for all architectures. Therefore it is
better to encapsulate the processing in the architecture specific cpu
drivers.

IBM Power processors differ uniquely across generations (such as power6,
power7, power8). Each generation signifies a new PowerISA version
that exhibits features unique to that generation.
The higher 16 bits of PVR for IBM Power processors encode the CPU
generation, while the CPU chip (sub)version is encoded in lower 16 bits.
For all practical purposes of launching a VM, we care about the
generation which the vCPU will belong to, and not specifically the chip
version. This patch updates the libvirt PVR check to reflect this
relationship. It allows libvirt to select the right CPU generation
in case the exact match for a a specific CPU is not found.
Hence, there will no longer be a need to add each PowerPC CPU model to
cpu_map.xml; just adding entry for the matching ISA generation will
suffice.
It also contains changes to cpu_map.xml since processor generations
as understood by QEMU compat mode go as "power6", "power7" or "power8"

PowerISA allows processors to run VMs in binary compatibility ("compat")
mode supporting an older version of ISA. QEMU has recently added support to
explicitly denote a VM running in compatibility mode through commit 6d9412ea
& 8dfa3a5e85. Now, a "compat" mode VM can be run by invoking this qemu
commandline on a POWER8 host: -cpu host,compat=power7.
This patch allows libvirt to exploit cpu mode 'host-model' to describe this
new mode for PowerKVM guests. For example, when a user wants to request a
power7 vm to run in compatibility mode on a Power8 host, this can be
described in XML as follows :
<cpu mode='host-model'>
<model>power7</model>
</cpu>

Commit de0aeaf filtered them out from the host-model features,
to allow host-model to be migratable by default.
Even though they are not passed to QEMU for host-passthrough,
(and not enabled by default) filter them out too
so the user does not think the domain has them.

Commit fba6bc4 introduced support for the 'invtsc' feature,

Replace:
if (virBufferError(&buf)) {
virBufferFreeAndReset(&buf);
virReportOOMError();
...
}
with:
if (virBufferCheckError(&buf) < 0)
...
This should not be a functional change (unless some callers
misused the virBuffer APIs - a different error would be reported
then)
When CPU comparison APIs return VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE, the caller
has no clue why the CPU is considered incompatible with host CPU. And in
some cases, it would be nice to be able to get such info in a client
rather than having to look in logs.
To achieve this, the APIs can be told to return VIR_ERR_CPU_INCOMPATIBLE
error for incompatible CPUs and the reason will be described in the
associated error message.

In "src/cpu/" there are some enumerations (enum) declarations.
Similar to the recent cleanup to "src/util", "src/conf" and other
directories, it's better to use a typedef for variable types,
function types and other usages. Other enumeration and folders will
be changed to typedef's in the future. Specially, in files that are
in different places of "src/util" and "src/conf". Most of the files
changed in this commit are related to CPU (cpu_map.h) enums.

When libvirtd is run from a build directory without being installed, it
should not depend on files from a libvirt package installed in the
system. Not only because there may not be any libvirt installed at all.
We already do a good job for plugins but cpu_map.xml was still loaded
from the system.
The Makefile.am change is necessary to make this all work from VPATH
builds since libvirtd has no idea where to find libvirt sources. It only
knows the path from which it was started, i.e, a builddir.

When all source CPU XMLs contain just a single CPU model (with a
possibly varying set of additional feature elements),
virConnectBaselineCPU will try to use this CPU model in the computed
guest CPU. Thus, when used on just a single CPU (useful with
VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES), the result will not use a
different CPU model.
If the computed CPU uses the source model, set fallback mode to 'forbid'
to make sure the guest CPU will always be as close as possible to the
source CPUs.

(crobinso: fix some indentation)
Some of the emulator features are presented in the <features> element in
the domain XML although they are virtual CPUID feature bits when
presented to the guest. To avoid confusing the users with these
features, as they are not configurable via the <cpu> element, this patch
adds an internal array where those can be stored privately instead of
exposing them in the XML.
Additionaly KVM feature bits are added as example usage of this code.
The CPUID functions were stored in multiple arrays according to a
specified prefix of those. This made it very hard to add another prefix
to store KVM CPUID features (0x40000000). Instead of hardcoding a third
array this patch changes the approach used:
The code is refactored to use a single array where the CPUID functions
are stored ordered by the cpuid function so that they don't depend on
the specific prefix and don't waste memory. The code is also less
complex using this approach. A trateoff to this is the change from O(N)
complexity to O(N^2) in x86DataAdd and x86DataSubtract. The rest of the
functions were already using O(N^2) algorithms.
Until now the map was loaded from the XML definition file every time a
operation on the flags was requested. With the introduciton of one shot
initializers we can store the definition forever (as it will never
change) instead of parsing it over and over again.
This makes virCPUx86DataAddCPUID, virCPUx86DataFree, and
virCPUx86MakeData available for direct usage outside of cpu driver in
tests and the new qemu monitor that will request the actual CPU
definition from a running qemu instance.
This patch adds cpuDataFormat and cpuDataParse APIs to be used in unit
tests for testing APIs that deal with virCPUData. In the x86 world, this
means we can now store/load arbitrary CPUID data in the test suite to
check correctness of CPU related APIs that could not be tested before.
