During a review, I've noticed this error message that was eventually produced when I was trying to define a domain: error: invalid argument: could not find capabilities for arch=mips64el domaintype=(null) Look at the (null). Why is it there? Well, during XML parsing, we try to look up the default emulator for given OS type and possibly virt type too. And this is the problem, because if we don't want to look up by virt type, a -1 is passed to note this fact. Later, the code handles -1 just right. Except for error message. When it is constructed (in a very fabulous way I must say), the value is compared to zero, not -1. And since we don't have any translation from -1 to a virt type string, we just print (null).
