Hi,

Just a gentle ping on this series.

This series fixes several Hygon Dhyana vendor-specific CPU behavior gaps where QEMU currently keys AMD-compatible paths only on AuthenticAMD.

The guest-visible changes are gated by x-hygon-vendor-abi-fixes and kept off for pc-11.0 and older machine types. The KVM runtime changes do not change guest CPU model ABI.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tina

Hygon Dhyana uses the HygonGenuine vendor string, but a number of
guest-visible and KVM-facing interfaces follow AMD-compatible behavior.
QEMU currently keys several of these paths only on AuthenticAMD, so Hygon
guests can see vendor-inconsistent CPUID/MSR state or use the wrong KVM
PMU/MCE handling paths.

This series makes those checks explicit for Hygon where appropriate.

Guest-visible CPU ABI changes are gated by the new
x-hygon-vendor-abi-fixes property.  The property defaults to true for new
machine types and is disabled for pc-11.0 and older, so existing machine
types keep their previous Hygon ABI for migration compatibility.

The KVM injected-MCE and PMU path changes are not CPUID model table
changes.  They make QEMU use the AMD-compatible runtime handling that
Linux/KVM already uses for Hygon.

The series covers:

   * AMD CPUID[0x80000001].EDX aliases for Hygon
   * hiding Intel cache CPUID leaves 2 and 4 for Hygon
   * hiding IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES for Hygon unless old ABI requires it
   * AMD MCE status encoding for Hygon memory-failure injection
   * AMD PMU MSR setup/save/restore paths for Hygon
   * disabling Intel-style MCA broadcast for Hygon injected MCEs
   * AMD IOMMU HT GPA hole layout for Hygon on new machine types
   * AMD legacy cache fallback for Hygon when legacy-cache=on
   * AMD-shaped default ucode-rev value for Hygon

Tests were added for the Dhyana CPUID/ucode compatibility behavior and
for the Hygon HT GPA hole memory-layout case.

Tested with:

   ninja -C build

   build/pyvenv/bin/meson test -C build --print-errorlogs \
       qemu:qtest-i386/test-x86-cpuid-compat \
       qemu:qtest-x86_64/test-x86-cpuid-compat \
       qemu:func-x86_64-mem_addr_space
