Compat CPU type is typically specified on -cpu cmdline option like: -cpu host,compat=power7 or -cpu POWER8E,compat=power7 etc. When compat is specified on -cpu cmdline, apply the same to all the CPUs that get created as part of CPU core devices.
This patch takes care of compat property that is specified with -cpu cmdline option only. The other way to specify this property is via -global cmdline option and that usage isn't addressed by this patch because -global is already broken for some CPU class in PowerPC. There are two issues with using -global on CPU class. - We specify alias names for CPUs commonly and use of alias names won't work with -global seamlessly. For eg, When "-cpu host" is specified, the actual CPU type that gets created is host-powerpc64-cpu. Hence specifying -global host.compat=power7 will not work, so it has to be -global host-powerpc64-cpu.compat=power7. - PowerPC class names have . (dot) and opts parsing doesn't like it. Specifying -global POWER8E_v2.1-powerpc64-cpu.compat=power7 will not work as the driver name gets extracted as POWER8E_v2 and hence setting of global property fails. The above two aspects could be considered/fixed separately from this patch as this patch allows existing uses of -cpu cpuname,compat= to work correctly after the introducton of sPAPR CPU cores.
