This is my first contribution to qemu. I do not know whether it is safe
to change the names, nor how to find out I'm afraid. I ran `make test`,
if that is what you mean.
Please let me know what you need me to do here.
In the meantime, I will separate the patches that rename / fix feature
names from the remaining patch set, and split the changes up as
requested.
