Guest features (capabilities XML) - these are really just capabilities of
the hypervisor in general

Host CPU features (capabilities XML) - individual CPU feature flags (ala
/proc/cpuinfo flags on host)

Guest CPU featrures (domain XML) - individual CPU feature flags (ala
/proc/cpuinfo flags in the guest)


The schema for Guest CPU features is a superset of the schema for
Host CPU features. My preference is thus to use the same class for
both of these.
