This is not a bad suggestion, although it would make -cpu ? a bit
awkward. Do you see an advantage to this over having
/usr/share/qemu/target-x86_64-cpus.cfg that's read early on?
Nope. As long as qemu -nodefconfig -cpu westmere works, I'm happy.
The reasoning is, loading target-x86_64-cpus.cfg does not alter the
current instance's configuration, so reading it doesn't violate
-nodefconfig.

I think the thread has reduced to: should /usr/share configuration
I suspect libvirt would not be happy with reading configuration files
on demand..
Why not?
