Hello,

Looking at kvm-26, it seems that the CPUID values as seen by the guest OS
are still hardcoded for i386/x86-64 at least.

For performance counter virtualization, the guest needs to see the *actual*
family/model information in order to correctly program the counters.

It would be fairly simple to grab that information from /proc/cpuinfo
at init time in qemu.

However, I am wondering if there would be side effects of using the
actual CPUID which could cause troubles to KVM or the guest.

Any comments on this?

Thanks.
