Description Jiri Denemark 2010-07-02 13:38:13 UTC 
Description of problem:

Currently CPU defs are part of /etc/qemu/target-x86_64.conf configuration file, which has a number of problems

- it's not loaded when -nodefconfig option is given, which makes the CPU definitions useless for libvirt
- it is asking to be edited by users
- it can't always be automatically replaced by a new version when upgrading qemu-kvm

It's desired to move the CPU definitions to some file(s) in /usr/share/ from where they could be unconditionally loaded. This will also allow for easy future updates of the definitions.

In other words, the following command should list all the new CPU models:

/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nodefconfig -cpu ?

Test with qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.104.el6.x86_64, he following command should list all the new CPU models, so this bug has been fixed.
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -nodefconfig -cpu ?
