Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v3 1/6] libxl: error out on not supported CPU mode, instead of silently ignoring

This change make libvirt XML with plain <cpu> element invalid for libxl,
which affect not only upcoming CPUID support, but also NUMA. In fact,
default mode 'custom' does not match what the driver actually does, so
it was a bug. Adjust xenconfig driver accordingly.

Should we change the default mode in the post-parse callback if NUMA or CPU 
features are defined within <cpu>? That would allow existing configs to continue 
working, although I doubt there are many since all of this is new to 3.10.0.

But nevertheless this commit break some configurations that were working
before.

I guess that is fine if we explicitly require mode='host-passthrough'.

Changes since v2:
  - change separated from 'libxl: add support for CPUID features policy'

While changing this the unneeded parens around VIR_CPU_MODE_HOST_PASSTHROUGH can 
be dropped.
