Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

Pre-allocate the list to the upper bound and fill it gradually. Since
the data is kept long-term and the list won't be populated much shrink
it to the actual size after parsing.
While using 'virStringListAdd' here wouldn't be as expensive as this
function is used just once, the removal will allow to remove
'virStringListAdd' altogether to discourage the antipattern it promotes.

The logic applied in the ppc64 case isn't quite correct, as the
interpretation of maximum mode depends on whether hardware virt
is used or not. This is information the CPU driver doesn't have.

For backward compatibility with older versions of libvirt CPU models in
our CPU map are mostly immutable. We only changed them in a few specific
cases after showing it was safe. Sometimes QEMU developers realize a
specific feature should not be part of a particular (or any) CPU model
because it can never be enabled automatically without further
configuration. But we couldn't follow them because doing so would break
migration to older libvirt.
If QEMU drops feature F from CPU model M because F could not be enabled
automatically anyway, asking for M would never enable F. Even with older
QEMU versions. Naively removing F from libvirt's definition of M would
seem to work nicely on a single host. Libvirt would consider M to be
compatible with hosts CPU that do not support F. However, trying to
migrate domains using M without explicitly enabling or disabling F could
fail, because older libvirt would think F was enabled (it is part of M
there), but QEMU reports it as disabled once started.
Thus we can remove such feature from a libvirt's CPU model, but we have
to make sure any CPU definition using the affected model will always
explicitly mention the state of the removed feature.

The patch adds a new attribute for the 'feature' element in CPU model
specification to indicate that a given feature was removed from a CPU
model. In other words, older versions of libvirt would consider such
feature to be included in the CPU model.

Until now, the function returned immediately when the guest CPU
definition did not use optional features or minimum match. Clearly,
there's nothing to be updated according to the host CPU in this case,
but the arch specific code may still want to do some compatibility
updates based on the model and features used in the guest CPU
definition.

Non-x86 archs does not have a 'microcode' version like x86. This is
covered already inside the function - just return 0 if no microcode
is found. Regardless of that, a read of /proc/cpuinfo is always made.
Each read will invoke the kernel to fill in the CPU details every time.
Now let's consider a non-x86 host, like a Power 9 server with 128 CPUs.
Each /proc/cpuinfo read will need to fetch data for each CPU and it
won't even matter because we know beforehand that PowerPC chips don't
have microcode information.
We can do better for non-x86 hosts by skipping this process entirely.

CPU models defined in the cpu_map can use signature/@stepping attribute
to match a limited set of stepping numbers. The value is a bitmap for
bits 0..15 each corresponding to a single stepping value. For example,
stepping='4-6,9' will match 4, 5, 6, and 9. Omitting the attribute is
equivalent to stepping='0-15'.
