Take a look at include/qom/cpu.h CPUClass::class_by_name and git-grep
the existing targets - most implement it already. It's a generic hook to
be used from everywhere rather than a local function specific to the
legacy init function. Apart from the error handling it should be
straight-forward.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is proc actually needed for? For
initializing the class, there's .class_init (and cc->fac_list apparently
is initialized here). If you need to pass info to KVM, you can do so in
DeviceClass::realize when the vCPU actually goes "live". A
string-to-string (or string-to-ObjectClass) translation function seems
like a weird point in time to take action with global effect.
Anyway, please implement the generic callback, then you can still call
it from your own helper functions if needed.

Andreas
