This is not a good idea in general, but we can (and have to) do it in specific cases when a feature has always been part of a CPU model in hypervisor's definition, but we ignored it and did not include the feature in our definition. Blindly adding the features to the CPU map and not adding them to existing CPU models breaks migration between old and new libvirt in both directions. New libvirt would complain the features got unexpectedly enabled (as they were not mentioned in the incoming domain XML) even though they were also enabled on the source and the old libvirt just didn't know about them. On the other hand, old libvirt would refuse to accept incoming migration of a domain started by new libvirt because the domain XML would contain CPU features unknown to the old libvirt. This is exactly what happened when several vmx-* features were added a few releases back. Migration between libvirt releases before and after the addition is now broken. This patch adds support for added these features to existing CPU models by marking them with added='yes'. The features will not be considered part of the CPU model and will be described explicitly via additional <feature/> elements, but the compatibility check will not complain if they are enabled by the hypervisor even though they were not explicitly mentioned in the CPU definition and incoming migration from old libvirt will succeed. To fix outgoing migration to old libvirt, we also need to drop all those features from domain XML unless they were explicitly requested by the user. This will be handled by a later patch.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
