[libvirt] [PATCH] Add Skylake Cpu Model

[Qiao, Liyong]

Hi Jirka
Thanks for your comments,, the qemu patch is on the way, check https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-04/msg03951.html

Even we cann't use qemu to boot a Skylake cpu virtual machine, but if we specify in host mode, we still can  
And besides, the follow cpu feature has already in qemu tree.

+    <!-- XSAVE CPUID[EAX=0xd,ECX=1].EAX -->
+    <feature name='xsaveopt'>
+      <cpuid function='0xd' eax='0x00000001'/>
+    </feature>
+    <feature name='xsavec'>
+      <cpuid function='0xd' eax='0x00000002'/>
+    </feature>
+    <feature name='xgetbv1'>
+      <cpuid function='0xd' eax='0x00000004'/>
+    </feature>
+    <feature name='xsaves' migratable='no'>
+      <cpuid function='0xd' eax='0x00000008'/>
+    </feature>

              Adding a new model to libvirt when there is no support for it in
              QEMU makes no sense. The only benefit will be seeing Skylake in
              capabilities XML, but users won't be able to use it anyway.
