the meaning of vendor_override is actually the opposite of how it
is currently used :-(
Fix it to allow KVM to export the non-native CPUID vendor if
explicitly requested by the user.
The semantic is now as intended:
- With TCG, the guest always sees the configured vendor.
- With KVM, the default is to propagate the host's vendor
  - when explicitly requested via -cpu <base>,vendor=xxx obey this
    and use the specified vendor

Hi,

this hasn't been picked up the last time I sent it out, are there any
objections?

Regards,
Andre.

This should go through uq/master.  But I'm not sure that the new 
behavior is really what's desired.  It's certainly going to break 
compatibility since -M pc-0.12 is going to show a different vendor_id by 
default.
