I would agree. But virsh domcapabilities only indicates support for
host-model
mode if we have something in cpu->hostModel.
virDomainCapsCPUFormat()
...
if (cpu->hostModel) {
virBufferAddLit(buf, "supported='yes'>\n");
It also causes the guest to fail when trying to use host-model mode
because virQEMUCapsInitHostCPUModel() skips setting qemuCaps->hostCPUModel
if caps->host.cpu->model does not exist.
Using an empty string here fixes both. Should I stick with it, or should we
fix the problems elsewhere?
