Presumably cpu stuff goes via Paolo's tree.
This cleanup should go together with
1) "[PATCH v2] microvm: do not use the lastest cpu version"
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2025-03/msg00094.html
that I and Intel folks (arguably the single user of microvm) acked.
Ani,
would this patch work with without [1]?
