You don't need to use two lines here.

We probably want to check against the machine type as well, though:
at least formally, the 'compat' option is only specific to the CPU,
so you could in theory have non-pseries guests using it. I don't
think that would actually work, but it still makes sense that we
would only use 'max-cpu-compat' instead of 'compat' for pseries
guests.

I think we still want to output '-cpu host' regardless of whether
we're going to use the CPU-level or machine-level compat option.

It just feels safer - even though I tried migrating a guest and it
doesn't seem to make a difference in practice.

Our coding style requires braces around the body here.

As mentioned above, a check against the machine type should probably
be added here as well, to make sure we're not using this
pseries-specific option with any other machine type.

The <currentMemory> element can be omitted.

The <console> element can be omitted; on the other hand, I'd add

  <controller type='usb' model='none'/>

here.

Move QEMU_CAPS_KVM to its own line, please.

QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_SPAPR_VTY can be omitted once you've gotten
rid of the corresponding XML element in the input file.
