Right, the caps xml isn't busted because there is a <guest>
element for the x86_64 emulator, it's busted because there
is _only_ a <domain> element for that emulator. AFAIK
every <guest> piece should have at least one <domain>
piece so that we know what domain type we can use that
emulator for, yet Jun's capabilities have all the qemu
emulators listed and only one <domain> element among
them.
