EAX should be KVM_CPUID_FEATURES (0x40000001) not 0.
Added hypervisor-vendor=kvm0 to get the older CPUID result. kvm1 selects the
newer one.
Why not just make "hypervisor-vendor=kvm" control only the hypervisor
vendor string, and support something like "kvm-hypervisor-level=0" to
restore the old cpuid_hv_level=0 behavior?
-cpu host,hypervisor-vendor=kvm,hypervisor-level=0
Does this.
This is similar to the kvmclock case: it would allow us to make
"hypervisor-vendor=kvm" use saner values as default, but letting old
machine-types to override it for compatibility if required.
Right now since I am using env->cpuid_hv_level == 0 as a flag. This
means that:
-cpu host,hypervisor-level=0,hypervisor-vendor=kvm
-cpu host,hypervisor-vendor=kvm,hypervisor-level=0
end up with different CPUID data (Which I do not like). I will fix this in the
next round.
Did you want me to drop kvm0 and kvm1?
