2.9 is very close now. I don't think we need to change any of the existing board code. Though there are quite a lot that don't accept -cpu foo,feat=on syntax because they use object_new() to create the CPU but don't call parse_features, they've been that way for years (eg since commit 223a72f1179dc0b from 2014 for versatilepb). We should figure out how we want to handle this and change all the boards just once, for 2.10. thanks -- PMM
