Note that putting stuff into the post-parse callback will result in the
failure/rejection happening already at XML parsing time.

I hope that's what you intended.

Generally such a change would not be acceptable because strictening the
parser means we would fail at loading already defined configuration XMLs
e.g. at libvirtd restart.

In this particular instance it's okay because the cloud hypervisor code
was not yet released.

Also note that the addition of the cloud hypervisor driver was not yet
documented in NEWS.rst.
