Jiri Denemark ac120f1855 cpu: x86: Check for invalid CPU data from hypervisor
Recently a kernel bug caused QEMU to report a CPU feature as enabled
while listing it in the "unavailable-features" list of features that
were requested, but could not be enabled. The feature was actually
enabled, but we marked it as disabled when starting a domain. Later when
the domain is migrated, the destination requests the feature to be
disabled, which breaks the guest ABI or if we are lucky QEMU just fails
to load the migration stream.

Let's make similar bugs more visible in the future by refusing to even
start the domain.

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.
