A suggestion was made on the mailing list to enhance the QAPI
code generation to support two layers of unions. This would
allow to specify the common fields once and avoid the duplication
in the leaf unions.
On the other hand, the slow query-cpus should be deprecated
along with the slow CpuInfo type and eventually be removed.
Assuming that new architectures will not be added at high
rates, we could live with the duplication for the time being.
What would be a realistic timeframe for deprecation/removal of
query-cpus, considering the libvirt usage? Are we aware of other users?
Well, if we want to start the clock ticking, this series also needs to
touch qemu-doc.texi to start the deprecation clock, then we go at least
two more releases with support for both old and new commands.
