[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qapi: report the default CPU type for each machine
Posted by Daniel P. Berrangé 6 years, 5 months ago
When user doesn't request any explicit CPU model with libvirt or QEMU,
a machine type specific CPU model is picked. Currently there is no way
to determine what this QEMU built-in default is, so libvirt cannot
report this back to the user in the XML config.

This extends the "query-machines" QMP command so that it reports the
default CPU model typename for each machine.

4.1 is sufficient (unless you think this is so controversial as to miss
the current release cycle).

Otherwise,

Yes, I'm getting confused about which release we're doing right now :-)
