+Confuse error message when KVM can not start requested CPU
+
+As of commit 1ba089f2255, on Cavium CN8890 (ThunderX cores):
+
+$ qemu-system-aarch64 -display none -accel kvm -M virt,gic-version=3 -accel kvm -cpu cortex-a57 --trace \*kvm_vcpu\*      
+kvm_vcpu_ioctl cpu_index 0, type 0x4020aeae, arg 0xffff9b7f9b18 
+qemu-system-aarch64: kvm_init_vcpu: kvm_arch_init_vcpu failed (0): Invalid argument
+
+(same using "-cpu cortex-a53" or cortex-a72).
+
+Explanation from Peter Maydell on IRC:
+> using a specific cpu type will only work with KVM if the host CPU really is that
+> exact CPU type, otherwise, use "-cpu host" or "-cpu max"
+
+Having a better error description would help to understand the reason.
+
+
+This is an automated cleanup. This bug report has been moved to QEMU's
+new bug tracker on gitlab.com and thus gets marked as 'invalid' now.
+Please continue with the discussion here:
