# migration-safe, but allows tooling to get an insight and work with
# model details.
#
+# Note: When a non-migration-safe CPU model is expanded in static mode, some
+# features enabled by the CPU model may be omitted, because they can't be
+# implemented by a static CPU model definition (e.g. cache info passthrough and
+# PMU passthrough in x86). If you need an accurate representation of the
+# features enabled by a non-migration-safe CPU model, use @full. If you need a
+# static representation that will keep ABI compatibility even when changing QEMU
+# version or machine-type, use @static (but keep in mind that some features may
+# be omitted).
+#
# Since: 2.8.0
