+/***** Steps involved on loading and filtering CPUID data
+ *
+ * When initializing and realizing a CPU object, the steps

+ *
+ * 1) Loading CPU model definition (X86CPUDefinition). This is
+ *    implemented by x86_cpu_load_def() and should be completely
+ *    transparent, as it is done automatically by instance_init.
+ *    No code should need to look at X86CPUDefinition structs
+ *    outside instance_init.
+ *
+ * 2) CPU expansion. This is done by realize before CPUID
+ *    filtering, and will make sure host/accelerator data is
+ *    loaded for CPU models that depend on host capabilities
+ *    (e.g. "host"). Done by x86_cpu_expand_features().
+ *
+ * 3) CPUID filtering. This initializes extra data related to
+ *    CPUID, and checks if the host supports all capabilities
+ *    required by the CPU. Runnability of a CPU model is
+ *    determined at this step. Done by x86_cpu_filter_features().
+ *
+ * Some operations don't require all steps to be performed.
+ * More precisely:
+ *
+ * - CPU instance creation (instance_init) will run only CPU
+ *   model loading. CPU expansion can't run at instance_init-time
+ *   because host/accelerator data may be not available yet.
+ * - CPU realization will perform both CPU model expansion and CPUID
+ *   filtering, and return an error in case one of them fails.
+ * - query-cpu-definitions needs to run all 3 steps. It needs
+ *   to run CPUID filtering, as the 'unavailable-features'
+ *   field is set based on the filtering results.
+ * - The query-cpu-model-expansion QMP command only needs to run
+ *   CPU model loading and CPU expansion. It should not filter
