Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Load CPU map from builddir when run uninstalled

When libvirtd is run from a build directory without being installed, it should not depend on files from a libvirt package installed in the system. Not only because there may not be any libvirt installed at all. We already do a good job for plugins but cpu_map.xml was still loaded from the system. The Makefile.am change is necessary to make this all work from VPATH builds since libvirtd has no idea where to find libvirt sources. It only knows the path from which it was started, i.e, a builddir.
