Following the discussion with Peter on my "cpus: Step toward removing global 'first_cpu'" series [*], we now pass the array of CPUs via property. Since we can not pass array of "link" properties, we pass the QOM path of each CPU as a QList(String).
Tagged as RFC to discuss the idea of using qdev_prop_set_array with qlist_append_str(object_get_canonical_path). Personally I find it super simple. Regards, Phil.
