From: Daniel Henrique Barboza <dbarb...@ventanamicro.com>
The 'host' CPU is available in a CONFIG_KVM build and it's currently
available for all accels, but is a KVM only CPU. This means that in a
RISC-V KVM capable host we can do things like this:
$ ./build/qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt,accel=tcg -cpu host --nographic
qemu-system-riscv64: H extension requires priv spec 1.12.0
This CPU does not have a priv spec because we don't filter its extensions
via priv spec. We shouldn't be reaching riscv_cpu_realize_tcg() at all
with the 'host' CPU.
We don't have a way to filter the 'host' CPU out of the available CPU
options (-cpu help) if the build includes both KVM and TCG. What we can
do is to error out during riscv_cpu_realize_tcg() if the user chooses
the 'host' CPU with accel=tcg:
$ ./build/qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt,accel=tcg -cpu host --nographic
qemu-system-riscv64: 'host' CPU is not compatible with TCG acceleration
