This reverts commit 5b79b1cadd3e565b6d1a5ba59764bd47af58b271 to avoid
double-registration of types:
Registering `POWER5+-powerpc64-cpu' which already exists
Taking the textual description of a CPU type as part of a new type
name
is plain wrong, and so is unconditionally registering a new type here.

Doesn't this break p8 support?
Maybe, but p5 support was in longer and this is definitely a regression
and really really wrong. If you know a way to fix it without handing it
back to the IBM guys for more thought, feel free to give it a shot.
I honestly don't fully remember what this was about. Wasn't this our
special KVM class that we use to create a compatible cpu type on the fly?
Alexey, please take a look at it.
I sent a note yesterday :-/ Here it is again:
With this revert, running qemu with HV KVM and -cpu POWER7 fails on real
POWER7 machine as my machine has pvr 003f 0201 and POWER7 is an alias of
POWER7_v2.3 (pvr 003f 0203); and this is what I tried to fix at the
first place. QEMU looks at classes first, and if not found - at aliases,
so this worked.
I would rename "POWER5+" to "POWER5+_0.0" and make "POWER5+" an alias
for POWER5+_v2.1 (or POWER5+_0.0).
