We've already did the same check in qemuDomainRefreshVcpuInfo.
If TCG supports pin feature in the future, 
we could remove these restrictions:
1) in config phase as this patch did.
2) in runtime.

Do we have API for showing domain's virt type?
I had some VMs with either tcg or kvm virt type.
PinVcpu API bring me some troubles then.
