Shouldn't ret be initialized to VIR_CPU_COMPARE_ERROR so that we don't
report everything is OK on errors?

    if (compat > host)
        ret = VIR_CPU_COMPARE_INCOMPATIBLE;
    else
        ret = VIR_CPU_COMPARE_IDENTICAL;

would be a bit more obvious I think.

In the long term, I think we should store compatibility modes within
cpu_map.xml, but ACK to this with the small issues addressed.
