Display a warning when such CPU is used:

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -S -M isapc -cpu Westmere
  qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Use of 64-bit CPU 'Westmere' is deprecated on the ISA-only PC machine

Can you s/Intel/x86-64/ here? Intel was not first with x86-64 (AMD 
invented it). Also "64-bit Intel" smells of Itanium too much.

The logic around checking CPUID_EXT2_LM looks good to me. Slightly curious as to 
whether people feel updating PCMachineClass is necessary, or you can simply do 
qdev_get_machine() and use object_dynamic_cast() to see if the machine matches 
MACHINE_NAME("isapc") and warn that way?

FWIW I'd be amazed if anyone were actually overriding the default and trying to do 
this, but I guess that's what the warn_report() is for.... anyhow:

I've thought of a possible problem here..

   $ qemu-system-x86_64 -monitor stdio -S -M isapc -cpu max

is going to enable 'lm'  (and a bazillion other new features)
for 'isapc', which is a shame, as 'max' is something we want
to be usable in general. I'm not sure how to square that
circle.

I might suggest that 'isapc' instead only makes sense in the
context of qemu-system-i386, since that only has 32-bit CPUs.
We wanted to kill that binary in favour of qemu-system-x86_64
for both 32 & 64 bit though, so we can't block 'isapc' from
qemu-system-x86_64.

Why don't you simply pass it as a parameter from pc_init_isa() instead? Or 
do the whole check in pc_init_isa() instead?
