   9# Virtual CPU model.
  10#
  11# A CPU model consists of the name of a CPU definition, to which
  12# delta changes are applied (e.g. features added/removed). Most magic values
  13# that an architecture might require should be hidden behind the name.
  14# However, if required, architectures can expose relevant properties.
  15#
  16# @name: the name of the CPU definition the model is based on
  17# @props: a dictionary of QOM properties to be applied

  29#
  30# @static: Expand to a static CPU model, a combination of a static base
  31#          model name and property delta changes. As the static base model will
  32#          never change, the expanded CPU model will be the same, independent of
  33#          QEMU version, machine type, machine options, and accelerator options.
  34#          Therefore, the resulting model can be used by tooling without having
  35#          to specify a compatibility machine - e.g. when displaying the "host"
  36#          model. The @static CPU models are migration-safe.
  37
  38# @full: Expand all properties. The produced model is not guaranteed to be
  39#        migration-safe, but allows tooling to get an insight and work with
  40#        model details.
  41#
  42# Note: When a non-migration-safe CPU model is expanded in static mode, some
  43# features enabled by the CPU model may be omitted, because they can't be
  44# implemented by a static CPU model definition (e.g. cache info passthrough and
  45# PMU passthrough in x86). If you need an accurate representation of the
  46# features enabled by a non-migration-safe CPU model, use @full. If you need a
  47# static representation that will keep ABI compatibility even when changing QEMU
  48# version or machine-type, use @static (but keep in mind that some features may
  49# be omitted).
