Followed cpu_common_parse_features().

Ok fixed.

Using qemu_get_opt() is one option but that would need some work of
setting the opts infrastructure for parsing -cpu option, but I assume
with Igor's global CPU features work, that would be unwelcome.

In my new version, I am not touching ->pre_plug() at all since there
is nothing to validate. All we do is to apply the compat property to
all CPU threads if it is specified.
