First, please avoid adding to include/qemu-common.h (it really should
go away).
Second, this is too generic a name. Please call it something like
qemu_read_aarch64_midr_el1.
Third, it's probably a bad idea to call this function from generic code, so
make it static and add the detection function from patch 2/2 already here.
By making it static, it's also possible to define it only if CONFIG_LINUX
is defined; the ThunderX detection will then return false if !CONFIG_LINUX.
Thanks,
Paolo
