When executing the hypervisor-cpu-compare/baseline commands and
the XML file contains a CPU definition using host-passthrough
and no model name, the commands will fail and return an error
message from the QMP response.
Let's fix this by checking for host-passthrough and a missing
model name after the CPU definition has been converted from
XML. If these conditions are matched, then the CPU definition's
model name will be set to "host".

New subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] qemu: driver: perform CPU model expansion on single CPU during baseline
When executing the hypervisor-cpu-baseline command and if there is only
a single CPU definition present in the XML file, then libvirt will
print an unhelpful message:
"error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown"
This is due to no CPU definition ever being "baselined", since the
API expects at least two CPU models.
Let's fix this by performing a CPU model expansion on the single CPU
definition and returning the result to the caller.

Ah, so when host-passthrough CPU is passed to the baseline API, we
should report an error. So this patch is actually trying to handle
single CPU definition with a non-empty <model> element specified. Good,
as the API is of course supposed to work in this case. It should
basically return the CPU definition passed to it with unsupported
features disabled.
Normally, expansion should only be done when requested by the
corresponding API flag. The simplest fix would be just returning the
original CPU definition if only one was passed to baseline. But the
result might not be the correct one as it could include unsupported
features. So is static expansion the thing that will return the expected
result? If so, this patch is mostly correct...

Right. In fact, if the model cannot be baselined (due to only a single
CPU provided to the API), and we DON'T call expansion here, the result
will just be the same verbatim XML that the user provided... which may
or may not be correct...
Calling expansion on the model will guarantee a sane response.

result? If so, this patch is mostly correct...
Precisely. A static expansion will return the CPU model and a
non-exhaustive list of features associated with the model.

Sounds good. I'll replace patch #1 with something that simply checks for
a missing model name within baseline and prints a helpful error, and
make the appropriate changes to this one.

That's the expected and correct behavior, only the error message is
should be better and reported directly by libvirt.
Let's fix this by checking for host-passthrough and a missing

As explained in the "qemu: substitute missing model name for
host-passthrough" thread, we should only make sure all CPUs passed to
the baseline API have a non-empty <model> element.
