[PATCH 0/7] qemu: Fix broken qemu caps cache invalidation

Bugs in the code meant to invalidate the qemu capabilities cache
resulted in us always re-probing capabilities on startup of
libvirtd/virtqemud. This got extremely annoying with the modern
deployments using --timeout.

Apart from issues in inserting the detected features, it also turns out
that AMD boxes report data which changes based on which CPU the
instruction happened to execute, so we need to mask that out.
