[libvirt] [PATCHv2 8/8] qemu: process: Validate specific CPUID flags of a guest
When starting a VM the qemu process may filter out some requested
features of a domain as it's not supported either by the host or by
qemu. Libvirt didn't check if this happened which might end up in
changing of the guest ABI when migrating.
The proof of concept implementation adds the check for the recently
introduced kvm_pv_unhalt cpuid feature bit. This feature depends on both
qemu and host kernel support and thus increase the possibility of guest
ABI breakage.
