Use multiple PVRs per CPU model to reduce the number of models we
need to keep track of.
Remove specific CPU models (eg. POWER7+_v2.1): the corresponding
generic CPU model (eg. POWER7) should be used instead to ensure
the guest can be booted on any compatible host.
Get rid of all the entries that did not match any of the CPU
models supported by QEMU, like power8 and power8e.

Inheritance among CPU model is cool but it makes reviewing CPU model
definitions and comparing them to CPU models from QEMU rather hard and
unpleasant. Let's define all CPU models from scratch.

QEMU 2.3 adds these new models to cover Haswell and Broadwell CPUs with
updated microcode. Luckily, they also reverted former the machine type
specific changes to existing models. And since these changes were never
released, we don't need to hack around them in libvirt.

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"

Commit fba6bc4 introduced support for the 'invtsc' feature,
which blocks migration. We should not include it in the
host-model CPU by default, because it's intended to be used
with migration.

The cpu_map.xml file is there to separate CPU model definitions from the
code. Having the only interesting data for PowerPC models only in the
source code. This patch moves this data to the XML file and removes the
hardcoded list completely.
When ppcVendorLoad fails to parse the vendor element for whatever
reason, it is supposed to ignore it and return 0 rather than -1. The
patch also removes PowerPC vendor string from the XML as it is not
actually used for anything.
The new model supports following features in addition to those supported
by SandyBridge:
fma, pcid, movbe, fsgsbase, bmi1, hle, avx2, smep, bmi2, erms, invpcid,
rtm
Qemu has added some new feature flags. This patch adds them to libvirt.
The new features are for the cpuid function 0x7 that takes an argument
in the ecx register. Currently only 0x0 is used as the argument so I was
lazy and I just clear the registers to 0 before calling cpuid. In future
when there maybe will be some other possible arguments, we will need to
improve the cpu detection code to take this into account.
Currently, the CPU model driver is not implemented for PowerPC.
Host's CPU information is needed to exposed to guests' XML file some
time.
This patch is to implement the callback functions of CPU model driver.

Using inheritance, this patch cleans up the cpu_map.xml file and also
sorts all CPU features according to the feature and registry
values. Model features are sorted the same way as foeatures in the
specification.
Also few models that are related were organized together and parts of
the XML are marked with comments
AMD Bulldozer (or Opteron_G4 as called in QEMU) was added to the list
of cpu models, flags were taken from upstream qemu cpu specifications
and should be sorted by bit values (or first occurence in the feature
specification part of cpu_map.xml).
Based on QEMU upstream commit 885bb0369a4f0abe2c0185178f3cb347cb02cdf1.
We found few more AMD-specific features in cpu64-rhel* models that
made it impossible to start qemu guest on Intel host (with this
setting) even though qemu itself starts correctly with them.
This impacts one test, thus the fix in tests/cputestdata/.
In qemu there are 2 cpu models (cpu64-rhel5 and cpu64-rhel6) not
supported by libvirt. This patch adds the support with the flags
specifications from /usr/share/qemu-kvm/cpu-model/cpu-x86_64.conf
The only difference is that AMD-specific features are removed so
the processor type is not vendor-specific. Those features are either
emulated or ignored by qemu if host CPU doesn't support them.
Recently (or not so recently) QEMU added the kvm32 and kvm64
architectures, representing a least common denominator of all
hosts that can run KVM. Add them to the machine map.
Also, some features that TCG supports were added to qemu64.
Add them to the cpu_map.xml whenever KVM is guaranteed to support
those. We still have to leave some out, because they would not
be available to guests running on older hosts.

Add support for newly supported Intel cpu features. Newly supported
flags are: pclmuldq, dtes64, smx, fma, pdcm, movbe, xsave, osxsave and
avx. This adds support for Intel's Sandy Bridge platform.
