If cpu models are not part of configuration they should not be affected by configuration mechanism. You are just avoiding addressing the real question that if asked above.
I think you're just refusing to listen.
The stated direction of QEMU, for literally years now, is that we want to arrive at the following:
QEMU is composed of a series of objects who's relationships can be fully described by an external configuration file. Much of the current baked in concepts (like machines) would then become configuration files.
qemu -M pc
Would effectively be short hand for -readconfig /usr/share/qemu/machines/pc.cfg
In that case qemu -cpu westmere is shorthand for -readconfig /usr/share/qemu/cpus/westmere.cfg.
I think the thread has reduced to: should /usr/share configuration files be read by default or just treated as additional configuration files.
If they're read as soon as they're referenced, what's the difference? -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function
