[pve-devel] [PATCH v3 qemu 02/11] Write understood CPU flags into static file

[Stefan Reiter]

located at /usr/share/kvm/cpu-flags-understood-$arch

This file can be read by qemu-server's "query_understood_cpu_flags"
function, avoiding a more expensive call to QEMU.

For now, only x86_64 is implemented, since aarch64 doesn't print any flags when
called this way.
