[libvirt] [PATCH v2 5/6] Taint domains configured with cpu mode=host-passthrough

There are several reasons for doing this:

- the CPU specification is out of libvirt's control so we cannot
  guarantee stable guest ABI
- not every feature of a CPU may actually work as expected when
  advertised directly to a guest
- migration between two machines with exactly the same CPU may work but
  no guarantees can be made
- this mode is not supported and it's use is at one's own risk
