+Whether a specific hypervisor is able to create a domain which uses any of
+the printed CPU models is a separate question which can be answered by
+looking the domain capabilities XML returned by B<domcapabilities> command.
+Moreover, for some architectures libvirt does not know any CPU models and

+print that all CPU models are accepted for these architectures.
