We already show whether a specific CPU model is usable on the

But it may be useful to actually see what features are blocking each CPU
model from being usable. Especially when we already fetch the info from
QEMU and propagating it to domain capabilities XML is all we need to do.

This is an XML design anti-pattern, because it invents a data format
inside the attribute which the caller then has to further parse.
If we want to expose this, it needs to be with child elements IMHO,
but yes it will be more much more verbose.
With regards,
