To be honest all possible naming schemes for '-cpu <name>' are just as
unfriendly as each other. The only user friendly option is '-cpu host'.
IMHO, we should just pick a concise naming scheme & document it. Given
they are all equally unfriendly, the one that has consistency with vmware
naming seems like a mild winner.
