Oh, I was mislead in my reading of qemuDomainDefPostParse, as I
saw that it already returned error when os.machine is NULL, but
I didn't realize we'd never even be calling qemuDomainDefPostParse
in that case, as the virDomainDefParseCaps() willl have caused it
to be skipped.

I thought that was the case too, but I couln't find any functional use
of def->os.machine in any of the other drivers:

$ git grep os.machine | grep -v -E '(qemu|conf)/'
libvirt-domain.c: *      "os.machine" - the machine hardware name as a string
libxl/libxl_conf.c:                        def->os.machine);
libxl/xen_common.c:    def->os.machine = g_strdup(capsdata->machinetype);
vbox/vbox_common.c:    VIR_DEBUG("def->os.machine          %s", def->os.machine);
vz/vz_sdk.c:    if (def->os.machine != NULL || def->os.bootmenu != 0 ||


that libxl_conf.c usage is just an error message

The xen_common.c usage is just when parsing  XM/XL  config files,
so output only.

The vz_sdk.c usage reports error for any non-NULL machine


I guess there is a difference in that if the user does dumpxml for a
libxl guest we've no longer filled in the machine. I can fix that,
but it doesn't look like it'll have a functional effect.

Daniel
