Since qemu-kvm 1.1 [1] (since 1.3. in upstream QEMU [2])
'-no-kvm-pit-reinjection' has been deprecated.
Use -device kvm-pit,lost_tick_policy=discard instead.

This part seems dubious, like it might break upgrades. If an older
libvirt says that qemu has a feature, and a VM is running, then when you
upgrade libvirtd and the feature is no longer provided by qemu, then
libvirtd may silently drop the domain definition because it can't find a
qemu binary that supports the same features as were required by the
older libvirtd. It shouldn't hurt to leave this cap bit set, even if
the rest of this patch is about avoiding the need to rely on this cap bit.
Otherwise, the patch looks okay to me.
