Ping.

Hi! Any chance for this to land?

The solution is very simple now: we don't modify any logic and just export 
kvm_cpuid2 entries as simple and flat QAPI list. What's the problem with it?

If any doubts, we can go with x- prefix for a new command.

Introducing new QMP command 'query-x86-cpuid'. This command can be used to
get virtualized cpu model info generated by QEMU during VM initialization in
the form of cpuid representation.

Diving into more details about virtual CPU generation: QEMU first parses '-cpu'
command line option. From there it takes the name of the model as the basis for
feature set of the new virtual CPU. After that it uses trailing '-cpu' options,
that state if additional cpu features should be present on the virtual CPU or
excluded from it (tokens '+'/'-' or '=on'/'=off').
After that QEMU checks if the host's cpu can actually support the derived
feature set and applies host limitations to it.
After this initialization procedure, virtual CPU has it's model and
vendor names, and a working feature set and is ready for identification
instructions such as CPUID.

To learn exactly how virtual CPU is presented to the guest machine via CPUID
instruction, new QMP command can be used. By calling 'query-x86-cpuid'
command, one can get a full listing of all CPUID leaves with subleaves which are
supported by the initialized virtual CPU.

Other than debug, the command is useful in cases when we would like to
utilize QEMU's virtual CPU initialization routines and put the retrieved
values into kernel CPUID overriding mechanics for more precise control
over how various processes perceive its underlying hardware with
container processes as a good example.

The command is specific to x86. It is currenly only implemented for KVM 
acceleator.

Output format:
The output is a plain list of leaf/subleaf argument combinations, that
return 4 words in registers EAX, EBX, ECX, EDX.

Use example:
qmp_request: {
   "execute": "query-x86-cpuid"
}

qmp_response: {
   "return": [
     {
       "eax": 1073741825,
       "edx": 77,
       "in-eax": 1073741824,
       "ecx": 1447775574,
       "ebx": 1263359563
     },
     {
       "eax": 16777339,
       "edx": 0,
       "in-eax": 1073741825,
       "ecx": 0,
       "ebx": 0
     },
     {
       "eax": 13,
       "edx": 1231384169,
       "in-eax": 0,
       "ecx": 1818588270,
       "ebx": 1970169159
     },
     {
       "eax": 198354,
       "edx": 126614527,
       "in-eax": 1,
       "ecx": 2176328193,
       "ebx": 2048
     },
     ....
     {
       "eax": 12328,
       "edx": 0,
       "in-eax": 2147483656,
       "ecx": 0,
       "ebx": 0
     }
   ]
}
