When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the startup path. As a nice benefit we can now remove all the nasty hacks from the test suite which were done to avoid having to exec QEMU on the test system. The building of the -cpu command line can just rely on data we pre-populate in qemuCapsPtr. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
