I will submit a new version of this patch later, as I will: * Split some changes that can be made in a separate patch, after the conversion (the x86_cpudef_setup() removal and the CPU listing code); * Add proper attribution to Andreas and Igor, who wrote "[RFC v5] target-i386: Slim conversion to X86CPU subclasses + KVM subclasses". -- Eduardo
