    Adds CPU selection infrastructure · 7286882c

    Each driver supporting CPU selection must fill in host CPU capabilities.
    When filling them, drivers for hypervisors running on the same node as
    libvirtd can use cpuNodeData() to obtain raw CPU data. Other drivers,
    such as VMware, need to implement their own way of getting such data.
    Raw data can be decoded into virCPUDefPtr using cpuDecode() function.
    
    When implementing virConnectCompareCPU(), a hypervisor driver can just
    call cpuCompareXML() function with host CPU capabilities.
    
    For each guest for which a driver supports selecting CPU models, it must
    set the appropriate feature in guest's capabilities:
    
        virCapabilitiesAddGuestFeature(guest, "cpuselection", 1, 0)
    
    Actions needed when a domain is being created depend on whether the
    hypervisor understands raw CPU data (currently CPUID for i686, x86_64
    architectures) or symbolic names has to be used.
    
    Typical use by hypervisors which prefer CPUID (such as VMware and Xen):
    
    - convert guest CPU configuration from domain's XML into a set of raw
      data structures each representing one of the feature policies:
    
        cpuEncode(conn, architecture, guest_cpu_config,
                  &forced_data, &required_data, &optional_data,
                  &disabled_data, &forbidden_data)
    
    - create a mask or whatever the hypervisor expects to see and pass it
      to the hypervisor
    
    Typical use by hypervisors with symbolic model names (such as QEMU):
    
    - get raw CPU data for a computed guest CPU:
    
        cpuGuestData(conn, host_cpu, guest_cpu_config, &data)
    
    - decode raw data into virCPUDefPtr with a possible restriction on
      allowed model names:
    
        cpuDecode(conn, guest, data, n_allowed_models, allowed_models)
    
    - pass guest->model and guest->features to the hypervisor
