[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu-capabilities: Fix query-cpu-model-expansion on s390 with older kernel

When running on s390 with a kernel that does not support cpu model checking and with a Qemu new enough to support query-cpu-model-expansion, the gathering of qemu capabilities will fail. Qemu responds to the query-cpu-model-expansion qmp command with an error because the needed kernel ioct does not exist. When this happens a guest cannot even be defined due to missing qemu capabilities data. This patch fixes the problem by silently ignoring generic errors stemming from calls to query-cpu-model-expansion. Reported-by: Farhan Ali <alifm(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com&gt; Signed-off-by: Collin L.
