There's no need to probe CPU features if we don't need them later. Debian Wheezy's QEMU 1.1.2 lacks the feature-word option so this unbreaks starting domains that got broken by d94b7817719b064849818b9ba6c37e403b7c003c like error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'qom-get': Property '.feature-words' not found --- This might not be ideal since we might to want to use qemuMonitorGetGuestCPU somewhere else later so I'm happy to improve on this.
