target/i386: Don't use x86_cpu_load_def() on "max" CPU model
When commit 0bacd8b3046f ('i386: Don't set CPUClass::cpu_def on "max" model') removed the CPUClass::cpu_def field, we kept using the x86_cpu_load_def() helper directly in max_x86_cpu_initfn(), emulating the previous behavior when CPUClass::cpu_def was set. However, x86_cpu_load_def() is intended to help initialization of CPU models from the builtin_x86_defs table, and does lots of other steps that are not necessary for "max". One of the things x86_cpu_load_def() do is to set the properties listed at tcg_default_props/kvm_default_props. We must not do that on the "max" CPU model, otherwise under KVM we will incorrectly report all KVM features as always available, and the "svm" feature as always unavailable. The latter caused the bug reported at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1467599 ("Unable to start domain: the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide required features: svm") Replace x86_cpu_load_def() with simple object_property_set*() calls. In addition to fixing the above bug, this makes the KVM branch in max_x86_cpu_initfn() very similar to the existing TCG branch. For reference, the full list of steps performed by x86_cpu_load_def() is: * Setting min-level and min-xlevel. Already done by max_x86_cpu_initfn(). * Setting family/model/stepping/model-id. Done by the code added to max_x86_cpu_initfn() in this patch. * Copying def->features. Wrong because "-cpu max" features need to be calculated at realize time. This was not a problem in the current code because host_cpudef.features was all zeroes. * x86_cpu_apply_props() calls. This causes the bug above, and shouldn't be done. * Setting CPUID_EXT_HYPERVISOR. Not needed because it is already reported by x86_cpu_get_supported_feature_word(), and because "-cpu max" features need to be calculated at realize time. * Setting CPU vendor to host CPU vendor if on KVM mode. Redundant, because max_x86_cpu_initfn() already sets it to the host CPU vendor.
