Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] host-validate: Improve CPU flags processing

Instead of relying on substring search, tokenize the input and process each CPU flag separately. This ensures CPU flag detection will continue to work correctly even if we start looking for CPU flags whose name might appear as part of other CPU flags' names. The result of processing is stored in a virBitmap, which means we don't have to parse /proc/cpuinfo in its entirety for each single CPU flag we want to check. Moreover, use of the newly-introduced virHostValidateCPUFlag enumeration ensures we don't go looking for random CPU flags which might actually be simple typos.
