Opps, no I was meaning  /domain/cpu/feature  here, which is the
same schem as /capabilities/host/cpu/feature.

I forgot there was also a /domain/features  which corresponds
to /capabilities/guest/features

Doh, I completely forgot about that. This is basically a bit of
legacy XML, which isn't even really used. It would only ever
be used to set 'pae', 'nonpae', 'vmx', or 'svm' flags. This is
the same kind of info as /capabilities/guest/features and also
/domain/features.

The new /capabilities/host/cpu/feature is a superset of this info
