[libvirt] [PATCH 2/3] cpu_x86: Add debug messages to x86DecodeUseCandidate

[Jiri Denemark]

When translating CPUID data into CPU model + features, the code
sometimes uses an unexpected CPU model. There may be several reasons for
this, starting with wrong expectations and ending with an actual bug in
our code. These debug messages will help determining the reason.
