I can agree with this. qemuMonitorCPUModelInfo is simpler and has everything 
qmp needs.

I also concur with your response to 2/7. Translating ModelInfo -> CPUDef
and using the existing CPUDef -> XML functions is the way to go.

Since we're getting a closer to an agreement on how this API should work,
I could respin my comparison patches with what we've learned thus far to
see how they look. Otherwise, I have no problem waiting until we come up
with something more definitive -- I have plenty to keep me busy in the 
meantime :)
