ACK to this bit, but move the comment to be above the if (!qemuCaps) IMO

Most of this seems like it should go into the Validate path, so it will
be skipped for cases we need to be protective, per
VIR_DOMAIN_DEF_PARSE_SKIP_VALIDATE usage.
The def->os.machine check needs to be kept here in some capacity, also
to protect later code. So maybe move that condition to the top and have
it return 1. Or maybe it is moved into qemuDomainDefPostParseBasic which
is where the default emulator is set?
Adding active VM handling into PostParse seems tricky, but if it's
needed maybe it should be based on PARSE_INACTIVE rather than the
def->id check
