[Qemu-devel] [RFC 1/2] target-i386: Introduce "-cpu custom"

[Eduardo Habkost]

Now that we can configure everything in a CPU using QOM properties, add
a new CPU model name that won't load anything from the CPU model table.
That means no CPUID field will be initialized with any data that depends
on CPU model name, machine-type, or accelerator.

This will allow management software to control CPUID data completely
using the "-cpu" command-line option, or using global properties.
