[Qemu-devel] [qom-cpu PATCH 2/2] i386: disable PMU passthrough mode by default

[Eduardo Habkost]

Bug description: QEMU currently gets all bits from GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID
for CPUID leaf 0xA and passes them directly to the guest. This makes
the guest ABI depend on host kernel and host CPU capabilities, and
breaks live migration if we migrate between host with different
capabilities (e.g. different number of PMU counters).

This patch adds a "pmu-passthrough" property to X86CPU, and set it to
true only on "-cpu host", or on pc-*-1.5 and older machine-types.
