By 'reports the model lowercase' i presume you're referring to '-cpu help'
and/or 'query-cpu-definitions' ?  That doesn't seem to be a new change
either though. I've not gone far back, but qemu 8.2.0 seems to already
be using lowercase.

So I'm still wondering why we're changing our decision about CPU naming
/now/ with power11 ?  The commit message needs to explain and justify
this change.

With regards,
Daniel
