We can get rid of the "power5+" / "power7+" hack in qom/object.c by using CPU aliases for those names instead (first patch).
I think in the long run, we should get rid of the names with a "+" in it completely, so the second patch suggests to deprecate those, but I'd also be fine if we keep the aliases around, so in that case please ignore the second patch.

libvirt seems to be explicitly referencing power7+ in the code, so I guess we'll need code to translate the + versions to the spellt-out version to preserve compatibility.
If it's too cumbersome, we could also keep the alias enabled in QEMU, i.e. drop the second patch...? Thomas
