When launching a QEMU guest the binary is probed to discover the list of supported CPU names. Remove this probing with a simple lookup of CPU models in the qemuCapsPtr object. This avoids another invocation of the QEMU binary during the startup path. As a nice benefit we can now remove all the nasty hacks from the test suite which were done to avoid having to exec QEMU on the test system. The building of the -cpu command line can just rely on data we pre-populate in qemuCapsPtr. Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
