This is a RFC, but I really want to include this on Qemu 1.1. This will allow libvirt to reuse our CPU defs starting on Qemu 1.1, and will give us some freedom to change the syntax and semantics of the cpudef sections, as long as we keep the config file at the same place.
Making this change earlier will benefit users that use Qemu directly but simply want to use the default CPU models (they won't have to update their config files on /etc once we change the way cpudefs work), and libvirt, that will finally be able to reuse the existing CPU models. This series should be applied on top of both the "./configure --confdir" and the "-readconfig fd=<fd>" series I submitted earlier today.
