qemu's default cpu is qemu64 (for qemu-system-x86_64 anyway), which is
a non-existing common subset of features of more or less modern CPUs
from several vendors.  Its very important property is that it supports
migration from one host to another without worrying about cpu types.

I don't want to change this aspect of qemu, and especially don't want
this to divirge from upstream, so that debian qemu will be incompatible
with all documentation available on the 'net.  If you want this to be
changed, please address this upstream.

Thanks,
