This is tangentially related to:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372668

The problem in that bug is that we didn't pass the source CPU model
(Sandybridge in that case) through to the target RHV hypervisor.  So
when the Windows guest booted on the target it gives an error about
CPU hardware being disconnected (although it otherwise boots and works
fine).

This patch series explores sending the CPU vendor, model and topology
from the source to the target, where supported.  It turns out that RHV
doesn't seem to support this anyway, but other target hypervisors do.
