The first patch introduces a generic comparator. This comparator should cover all machine types at once that don't belong to machine type "families". Hence, for example, the output it produces for
qemu-system-aarch64 -M \? is meant to be final. (See examples in the patches.) The second patch files piix and q35 machine types into their respective families. Paolo said we needed to care about "pseries, pc, q35", but I got no clue about "pseries", so I didn't touch that. It shouldn't be hard for someone who knows "pseries" to post a followup patch that covers it. Until then, "pseries" machine types are listed in alphabetical order (no families).
