/*
 * CPU Cluster type
 *
 * A cluster is a group of CPUs which are all identical and have the same view
 * of the rest of the system. It is mainly an internal QEMU representation and
 * does not necessarily match with the notion of clusters on the real hardware.
 *
 * If CPUs are not identical (for example, Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57 CPUs in an
 * Arm big.LITTLE system) they should be in different clusters. If the CPUs do
 * not have the same view of memory (for example the main CPU and a management
 * controller processor) they should be in different clusters.
 *
 * A cluster is created by creating an object of TYPE_CPU_CLUSTER, and then
 * adding the CPUs to it as QOM child objects (e.g. using the
 * object_initialize_child() or object_property_add_child() functions).
 * The CPUs may be either direct children of the cluster object, or indirect
 * children (e.g. children of children of the cluster object).
 *
 * All CPUs must be added as children before the cluster is realized.
 * (Regrettably QOM provides no way to prevent adding children to a realized
 * object and no way for the parent to be notified when a new child is added
 * to it, so this restriction is not checked for, but the system will not
 * behave correctly if it is not adhered to. The cluster will assert that
 * it contains at least one CPU, which should catch most inadvertent
 * violations of this constraint.)
 *
 * A CPU which is not put into any cluster will be considered implicitly
 * to be in a cluster with all the other "loose" CPUs, so all CPUs that are
 * not assigned to clusters must be identical.
