The virHostValidateHasCPUFlag doesn't really distinguish "flags" or "features" field being specified as a label (although I imagine that could have internationalization impact if we tried to limit that more). Anyway, before I push this - I wanted to see if there were any "other" thoughts regarding letting this be a bit more generic. My one concern is some field name some day has "sie" added (e.g. "easier" or "transient" would match). One change that may help with that would be to check "sie " instead of "sie" (similarly "svm" could be "svm " and "vmx" could be "vmx "). The source code prints the output as "..."%s ", int_hwcap_str[i]..."
