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.
Recent CPU models were specified using invalid vendor element
<vendor>NAME</vendor>, which was silently ignored due to a bug in the
code which was parsing it.
Some features provided by the recently added CPU models were mentioned
twice for each model. This was a result of automatic generation of the
XML from qemu's CPU configuration file without noticing this redundancy.
By specifying <vendor> element in CPU requirements a guest can be
restricted to run only on CPUs by a given vendor. Host CPU vendor is
also specified in capabilities XML.
The vendor is checked when migrating a guest but it's not forced, i.e.,
guests configured without <vendor> element can be freely migrated.
