This command attempts to map to the behavior of -cpu ?.  Unfortunately, the
output of this command differs wildly across targets.

To accomodate this, we use a weak symbol to implement a default version of the
command that fails with a QERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error code.  Targets can then
override and implement this command if it makes sense for them.

I've never really understood why so much of the cpu selection
logic is deferred to target-*...

This is a bit of a weak reason (boom boom!) for requiring a platform
specific thing like weak symbols, though, and it's not how we handle
similar existing cases (eg see the configure/makefile logic for
memory_mapping.c vs memory_mapping-stub.c).

If having separate configure/make stuff for each of these things
sounds a bit heavyweight, we could just have a target-stubs.c which
#includes cpu.h and has a lot of
#ifndef TARGET_QUERY_CPUDEFS
[stub version]
#endif
#ifndef TARGET_GET_MEMORY_MAPPING
[stub version]
#endif

etc.

It will be fixed as part of the QOM conversion.

I don't think we have a consistent approach today FWIW.  I think using
weak symbols is sufficiently compelling that it will become consistent.

This is pretty hideous.

FWIW, weak symbols are supported on OS X as of 10.2.

I'd call this query-cpu-defs or even query-cpu-difinitions. The latter makes
it self-documenting.

We are inconsistent in this file whether to use '1.2.0' or just '1.2';
probably worth a followup patch to clean whichever version is deemed
inappropriate.

I though QMP favored English words, as in 'query-cpu-definitions'
