[libvirt] [PATCH 4/4] qemu: Limit refresh of CPU halted state to s390

From: Viktor Mihajlovski <mihajlov at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Refreshing the halted state can cause VM performance issues. Since
s390 is currently the only architecture with a known interest in
the halted state, we're avoiding to call QEMU on other platforms.
