We currently also list "valid" machine types in the capabilities
XML for each driver. I use quotes, because this list is currently
dubiously hardcoded. I'm thinking it might be better to do the
parsing of -M ? output as part of the capaiblities intiialization
code. The canonicalize method would then just need to query the 
existing capabilities data & could even be  done in the domain XML
parser code instead of qemu driver.

Need to check for NULL here.
