Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] domcaps: Check for architecture more wisely

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1209948 So we have this bug. The virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() API performs a couple of checks before it produces any result. One of the checks is if the architecture requested by user can be run by the binary (again user provided). However, the check is pretty dumb. It merely compares if the default binary architecture matches the one provided by user. However, a qemu binary can run multiple architectures. For instance: qemu-system-ppc64 can run: ppc, ppcle, ppc64, ppc64le and ppcemb. The default is ppc64, so if user requested something else, like ppc64le, the check would have failed without obvious reason.
