I was going to say that static properties were too much work to be done
in time for 1.5, but you are right: in this specific case adding a
static property for the cpuid_pmu_passthrough field looks very easy. I
will give it a try.

I will probably try to make the "model" field a static property as well.
Then only x86_cpu_compat_set_features() would be kept, as converting
feature flags to static properties will probably require more work.
