The query-cpu-model-expand QMP command needs at least one static
model, to allow the "static" expansion mode to be implemented.
Instead of defining static versions of every CPU model, define a
"base" CPU model that has absolutely no feature flag enabled.
Despite having no CPUID data set at all, "-cpu base" is even a
functional CPU:
* It can boot a Slackware Linux 1.01 image with a Linux 0.99.12
kernel[1].
* It is even possible to boot[2] a modern Fedora x86_64 guest by
manually enabling the following CPU features:
-cpu base,+lm,+msr,+pae,+fpu,+cx8,+cmov,+sse,+sse2,+fxsr
