In libvirt, the default error message length is 1024 bytes. This is not
enough for qemu to print long error messages such as the list of
supported ARM machine models (more than 1700 chars). This is
raised when the machine entry in the XML file is wrong, but there may
be now or in future other verbose error messages.
The above patch enables libvirt to print error messages >1024 for qemu.
