[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] kvm: Allow the Hyper-V vendor ID to be specified

[Alex Williamson]

According to Microsoft documentation, the signature in the standard
hypervisor CPUID leaf at 0x40000000 identifies the Vendor ID and is
for reporting and diagnostic purposes only.  We can therefore allow
the user to change it to whatever they want, within the 12 character
limit.  Add a new hyperv-vendor-id option to the -cpu flag to allow
for this, ex:

 -cpu host,hv_time,hv_vendor_id=KeenlyKVM

v2: Replace abort() with truncating the string, error report updated

Igor also had the idea of creating a DEFINE_PROP_STRING_LEN property
where we could enforce the length earlier in the parameter checking.
If we like that idea, we probably need to do it first since we don't
want to switch from truncating to erroring between releases.  I can
work on that if preferred.  Thanks,

Alex
