This should have no visible effect, but it should just clean up the
config file a bit.

This version doesn't have the duplicate feature bits on extfeature_edx, though,
as they are being removed from the Intel models (as they are reserved bits on
Intel CPUs).
Version 1 patch description:
This patch adds Westmere as a qemu cpu model. The only
additional guest visible feature of a Westmere relative
to Nehalem is the inclusion of AES instructions. However
as other non-ABI visible modifications exist along with
fabrication changes, the CPUID data of the corresponding
deployed silicon was altered slightly to reflect this.
We've seen isolated cases where apparently unrelated yet
slightly incoherent CPUID data has caused problems, most
notably during guest boot. Providing Westmere as a
model separate fro Nehalem allows us to more easily address
such quirks.

Changes version 1 -> version 2:
- Remove the duplicate feature bits on extfeature_edx, that are
reserved on Intel CPUs
- Reorder feature flags
- Remove x2apic from the definition because x2apic requires some fixes
that have to be resubmitted

This patch removes the replicated feature flags from cpuid 8000_0001:edx
(extfeature_edx) from Intel models, as the duplicated feature flags are present
only on AMD CPUs. On Intel models, only the i64, syscall, and xd flags are kept
on extfeature_edx.
This is based on a previous patch from John Cooper where this was introduced
with many other changes at the same time. Original John's patch submission is

Original John's patch description was:
cpu model bug fixes and definition corrections
This patch was intended to address the replicated feature
flags in cpuid 8000_0001:edx from cpuid 0000_0001:edx.
This is due to AMD's definition where these flags are
mostly cloned in the 8000_0001:edx cpuid function.
qemu64 attempted to glue together the respective Intel
and AMD nearly disjoint features and this propagated to
the new Intel models as doing so was believed conservative
at the time. However after further soak and test lugging
around this cruft doesn't provide any value, could
conceivably confuse a guest, and has confused users trying
to maintain/add cpu definitions. This also caused issues
for libvirt attempting to track this mis-encoding.
So we've here tossed out the AMD replicated definitions
from the Intel models, added a few replications into AMD
definitions which were missing according to AMD's latest
CPUID document, and reordered the config file flags to
follow intuitive sequential bit ordering. Also two flag
name aliases were added for clarity to Intel models. The
end result being the models definitions now conform to
their respective cpuid specifications sans x2apic which is
emulated by kvm.
This was tested with the following combinations:
[Conroe, Penryn, Nehalem] x [F12-64, win64, win32] -- Intel host
[Opteron_G1, Opteron_G2, Opteron_G3] x [F12-64, win64, win32] -- AMD host
Yielding successful boots in all cases.

Use 'i64' instead of 'lm' and 'xd' instead of 'nx' on Intel models.
The flags have different names on Intel docs, so use those names for clarity.

This will make it easier to review and change the flag list in the future.
No behaviour change should be introduced by this, as it is just changing
the flag order on the config file.
To make sure the flag sets are really not changed by this patch, I have
used the following stupid script to compare the flag values in the
config files:

This is a reimplementation of prior versions which adds
the ability to define cpu models for contemporary processors.
The added models are likewise selected via -cpu <name>,
and are intended to displace the existing convention
of "-cpu qemu64" augmented with a series of feature flags.
A primary motivation was determination of a least common
denominator within a given processor class to simplify guest
migration. It is still possible to modify an arbitrary model
via additional feature flags however the goal here was to
make doing so unnecessary in typical usage. The other
consideration was providing models names reflective of
current processors. Both AMD and Intel have reviewed the
models in terms of balancing generality of migration vs.
excessive feature downgrade relative to released silicon.
This version of the patch replaces the prior hard wired
definitions with a configuration file approach for new
models. Existing models are thus far left as-is but may
easily be transitioned to (or may be overridden by) the
configuration file representation.
Proposed new model definitions are provided here for current
AMD and Intel processors. Each model consists of a name
used to select it on the command line (-cpu <name>), and a
model_id which corresponds to a least common denominator
commercial instance of the processor class.
A table of names/model_ids may be queried via "-cpu ?model":
:
x86 Opteron_G3 AMD Opteron 23xx (Gen 3 Class Opteron)
x86 Opteron_G2 AMD Opteron 22xx (Gen 2 Class Opteron)
x86 Opteron_G1 AMD Opteron 240 (Gen 1 Class Opteron)
x86 Nehalem Intel Core i7 9xx (Nehalem Class Core i7)
x86 Penryn Intel Core 2 Duo P9xxx (Penryn Class Core 2)
x86 Conroe Intel Celeron_4x0 (Conroe/Merom Class Core 2)
:
Also added is "-cpu ?dump" which exhaustively outputs all config
data for all defined models, and "-cpu ?cpuid" which enumerates
all qemu recognized CPUID feature flags.
The pseudo cpuid flag 'check' when added to the feature flag list
will warn when feature flags (either implicit in a cpu model or
explicit on the command line) would have otherwise been quietly
unavailable to a guest:
# qemu-system-x86_64 ... -cpu Nehalem,check
warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'sse4.2|sse4_2' [0x00100000]
warning: host cpuid 0000_0001 lacks requested flag 'popcnt' [0x00800000]
A similar 'enforce' pseudo flag exists which in addition
to the above causes qemu to error exit if requested flags are
unavailable.
Configuration data for a cpu model resides in the target config
file which by default will be installed as:
/usr/local/etc/qemu/target-<arch>.conf
The format of this file should be self explanatory given the
definitions for the above six models and essentially mimics
the structure of the static x86_def_t x86_defs.
Encoding of cpuid flags names now allows aliases for both the
configuration file and the command line which reconciles some
Intel/AMD/Linux/Qemu naming differences.
This patch was tested relative to qemu.git.
