My initial inclination is to say that specifying the CPU on the
command line is almost always the wrong thing for ARM platforms
(now or in a future QOM world). For instance, if you start the
vexpress-a9 board with something other than -cpu cortex-a9 it won't
complain but it won't do the right thing either (you'll get the
private peripherals for the A9 with whatever CPU core you asked for).
I don't think you want to have the user specifying -device my-soc
on the command line either -- the user should be selecting a board
(machine) model, which will generally nail down which soc and cpu
are used.
-cpu foo is most useful for linux-user mode.

There's a patch to add cpu feature support here:
https://github.com/jowinter/qemu-trustzone/commit/421a2a71daa141da50c54997948d2a6d23013bd4
which I'm hoping will be submitted upstream...
