Public bug reported:

OS version: RHEL 6.5
libvirt version:  libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.9.x86_64

When I attempt to live migrate my KVM instance using latest Juno code on
RHEL 6.5, I notice nova-compute error on source compute node:

2014-08-27 09:24:41.836 26638 ERROR nova.virt.libvirt.driver [-]
[instance: 1b1618fa-ddbd-4fce-aa04-720a72ec7dfe] Live Migration failure:
unsupported configuration: Target CPU model SandyBridge does not match
source (null)

And this libvirt error on source compute node:

2014-08-27 09:32:24.955+0000: 17721: error : virCPUDefIsEqual:753 :
unsupported configuration: Target CPU model SandyBridge does not match
source (null)

After looking into the code, I notice that 
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/73428/ adds VIR_DOMAIN_XML_MIGRATABLE flag to 
dump instance xml. With this flag, the KVM instance xml will include full CPU 
information like this:
  <cpu mode='host-model' match='exact'>
    <model fallback='allow'>SandyBridge</model>
    <vendor>Intel</vendor>

Without this flag, the xml will not have those CPU information:
  <cpu mode='host-model'>
    <model fallback='allow'/>
    <topology sockets='1' cores='1' threads='1'/>
  </cpu>

The CPU model of my source and destination server are exactly identical.
So I suspect it is a side effect of
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/73428/. When libvirtd doing
virDomainDefCheckABIStability(), its src domain xml does not include CPU
model info, so that the checking fails.

After I remove the code change of
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/73428/ from my compute node, this
libvirt checking error does not occur anymore.
