[libvirt] [PATCH 5/6] qemu: migration: warn if migrating with host-passthrough

From: "Collin L. Walling" <walling(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; Warn the user when migrating a guest that is using the host-passthrough cpu mode. host-passthrough is not migration safe because the host hypervisor is not attempting to block features that may not exist on the destination host.
