[virt-tools-list] passing custom parameters to kvm?

How can I pass custom parameters to kvm?

I'm trying to pass this simple argument: -host cpu


Unfortunately, according to this page:

http://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU

it only seems to be possible to specify "pre-defined" CPUs (from 
cpu_map.xml file).


Even if I specify the model with i.e.:

   <cpu>
     <model>Nehalem</model>
   </cpu>

or

   <cpu>
     <model>Nehalem</model>
     <vendor>Intel</vendor>
   </cpu>


I still only see "Qemu Virtual CPU".


Any hints how I can specify my own command line parameters (or "-host cpu")?
