This type of static property looks good to me, but two problems apart
from the BITNR() discussed elsewhere:
1) Won't the default value of false always disable VSX for all models
including POWER7 and higher?
2) Please move the array out of the function to just before the
containing function.
Igor has been facing a similar issue in his refactoring of x86 models
and I believe evaluated to define the properties per model so that they
have different defaults. Another way is overwriting that default in the
model's instance_init or via globals specific to the subtype.

Andreas
