[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Starting a domain with custom model and allowed-fallback failed when host lacks some CPU features

[Yi Wang]

An attemp to start a domain requesting a custom CPU model, core2duo, for
example, will fail if some feature that the model needs doesn't exist in that
host, even though fallback attibute is set allow:
"error: the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide
required features: monitor"
Of course we can start that domain through forbidding that feature, but
that may not be flexible.
