Hmm, I would expect libvirt to complain about missing CPU model. If
that's not the case, we need to fix it. But we should not fix it the
same way. This change in the Compare API is hidden inside libvirt, we
just tell QEMU we're comparing "host" when the cpu->mode is
host-passthrough and get the result, which is basically yes/no.
But with baseline we get the result and make a guest CPU definition out
of it. By setting cpu->model to "host" we would could end up with
<model>host</model> in the result or even random result depending on the
host performing the baseline API. This API should just reject any CPU
definition without <model> as invalid argument.
