Do you want to emulate a completely different platform (eg PPC / alpha /
Sparc) or just pretend the cpu is a slightly different flavours (eg
running a late model Xeon CPU but emulate a P2)?
In a lot of cases you can do the latter by changing some CPUID values in
the DomU config to mask the CPU features so the guest thinks it is
running on an older model.
