The idea of 'qemu -M none' was that we'd have a machine type which did not do any hardware set, to query any aspect of the QEMU binary capabilities. If we have to also invoke qemu again with every other machine type that is a failed design IMHO. It should not be beyond the realm of possibility to make 'qemu -M none' provide information about the CPU features for machines/cpus without needing to actually creating instances of those machines.
