[Qemu-devel] [PATCH qom-next v2 0/6] target-i386: re-factor CPU creation/initialization to QOM

[Igor Mammedov]

Moving code related to CPU creation and initialization internal parts
from board level into apic and cpu objects will allow X86CPU to better
model QOM object life-cycle.
It will allow to create X86CPU as any other object by creating it with
object_new() then setting properties and then calling x86_cpu_realize()
to make it running. Later x86_cpu_realize() should become realize property.


 1  pc: Enable MSI support at APIC level
     http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.kvm.devel/91186
     included here to prevent confilict since qom-next doesn't have it
     but patches 4, 5 are depending on it. I guess it would be best way to
     avoid confilicts, correct me if I'm wrong.

 2  target-i386: move cpu halted decision into x86_cpu_reset
 3  target-i386: add cpu-model property to x86_cpu
 4  pc: move apic_mapped initialization into common apic init code
 5  target-i386: make initialize CPU in QOM way
 6  target-i386: move reset callback to cpu.c
