Since the introduction of CMT features (commit v1.3.5-461-gf294b83)
starting a domain with host-model CPU on a host which supports CMT fails
because QEMU complains about unknown 'cmt' feature:
qemu-system-x86_64: CPU feature cmt not found

By removing a non-migratable feature in a for loop we would fail to drop
every second non-migratable feature if the features array contained
several of them in a row.

Pretending (partial) support for something we don't understand is risky.

Some Intel processor families (e.g. the Intel Xeon processor E5 v3
family) introduced some PQos (Platform Qos) features, including CMT
(Cache Monitoring technology) and MBM (Memory Bandwidth Monitoring),
to monitor or control shared resource. This patch add them into x86
part of cpu_map.xml to be used for applications based on libvirt to
get cpu capabilities. For example, Nova in OpenStack schedules guests
based on the CPU features that the host has.

Both ARM and AArch64 drivers are exactly the same (modulo function
names). Let's use just one driver for all ARM architectures.

Our current detection code uses just the number of CPU features which
need to be added/removed from the CPU model to fully describe the CPUID
data. The smallest number wins. But this may sometimes generate wrong
results as one can see from the fixed test cases. This patch modifies
the algorithm to prefer the CPU model with matching signature even if
this model results in a longer list of additional features.

The CPU model was implemented in QEMU by commit f6f949e929.
The change to i7-5600U is wrong since it's a 5th generation CPU, i.e.,
Broadwell rather than Skylake, but that's just the result of our CPU
detection code (which is fixed by the following commit).

As a side effect this changes the order of CPU features in XMLs
generated by libvirt, but that's not a big deal since the order there is
insignificant.

For two reasons:
- 0x00000001 is very similar to 0x80000001, but 0x01 is visually
different
- 0x01 format is consistent with CPUID manual

CPUID instruction normally takes its parameter from EAX, but sometimes
ECX is used as an additional parameter. This patch prepares the x86 CPU
driver code for the new 'ecx_in' CPUID parameter.

The internal features are only used in explicit checks with
cpuHasFeature. Loading them into the CPU map is dangerous since the
features may accidentally be reported to users when decoding CPUID data.

virCPUData and struct ppc64_model structures contained a pointer to
virCPUppc64Data, which was not very nice since the real data were
accessible by yet another level of pointers from virCPUppc64Data.

virCPUData, virCPUx86Feature, and virCPUx86Model all contained a pointer
to virCPUx86Data, which was not very nice since the real CPUID data were
accessible by yet another pointer from virCPUx86Data. Moreover, using
virCPUx86Data directly will make static definitions of internal CPU
features a bit easier.

When computing CPU data for a given guest CPU we should set CPUID vendor

All callers of cpuGetModels expect @models to be NULL-terminated. Once
both x86GetModels and ppc64GetModels were fixed to meet this
expectation, we can explicitly document it.

The architecture specific loaders are now called with a list of all
elements of a given type (rather than a single element at a time). This
avoids the need to reallocate the arrays in CPU maps for each element.

There's no reason for keeping the models in a linked list. Especially
when we know upfront the total number of models we are loading.
As a nice side effect, this fixes ppc64GetModels to always return a
NULL-terminated list of models.
