Thanks for giving it a try.

Try running -cpu help, or -device help after applying your series,
you'll notice it accidentally exposes all cpus/devices for all targets,
so it breaks the fundamental promise to keep existing command line
exactly as it is for current binaries.

That's why we're trying to solve this filtering issue for all QOM types
(machines, cpus and devices) *before* sending the series adding build
system for qemu-system + -target option (which I have, waiting on my
personal repo).

The v2 is a result of a discussion with Daniel on v1, you can read it
for details.
