Speaking of which, have you considered using QemuOpts for -cpu? Its
custom parsing code will probably not handle , escaping at all. ;)
It may be possible, but I'm not sure QemuOpts can handle the "+foo,-foo"
options (and I am sure we don't want to extend QemuOpts to support
them).
In either case, it's better to do that after we simplify
x86_cpu_parse_featurestr() (with the current patches from Igor), to make
the conversion easier to review later.
