libvirt currently silently allows <timer name="kvmclock"/> and some
other timer tags in the guest XML definition for timers that do not
exist on non-x86 systems. We should not silently ignore these tags
since the users might not get what they expected otherwise.
Note: The error is only generated if the timer is marked with
present="yes" - otherwise we would suddenly refuse XML definitions
that worked without problems before.
