Paolo Bonzini b66d1bef14 qemu: parse and create -cpu ...,-kvmclock 
QEMU supports a bunch of CPUID features that are tied to the kvm CPUID
nodes rather than the processor's.  They are "kvmclock",
"kvm_nopiodelay", "kvm_mmu", "kvm_asyncpf".  These are not known to
libvirt and their CPUID leaf might move if (for example) the Hyper-V
extensions are enabled. Hence their handling would anyway require some
special-casing.

However, among these the most useful is kvmclock; an additional
"property" of this feature is that a <timer> element is a better model
than a CPUID feature.  Although, creating part of the -cpu command-line
from something other than the <cpu> XML element introduces some
ugliness.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
