2.9 is very close now. I don't think we need to change any
of the existing board code. Though there are quite a lot that
don't accept -cpu foo,feat=on syntax because they use
object_new() to create the CPU but don't call parse_features,
they've been that way for years (eg since commit 223a72f1179dc0b
from 2014 for versatilepb). We should figure out how we want
to handle this and change all the boards just once, for 2.10.
