Title:
  All CPU features not exposed

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The compute node calls the libvirt API `getCapabilities' to get the
  CPU features for the compute node.  Unfortunately, this API doesn't
  return all of the CPU features, it returns a CPU model name and any
  extra features that are not part of that model.  This makes it
  extremely difficult for anything that wants to check for specific CPU
  featurs (like a ComputeCapabilities scheduler filter) to know what's
  available on that compute node.

  libvirt has been enhanced to add a new flag,
  VIR_CONNECT_BASELINE_CPU_EXPAND_FEATURES, to the `baselineCPU' API
  that will cause that API to return all CPU features, explicitly
  listing the ones that are part of the CPU model.  Need to fix the
  `nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py' code to call this API to get all the CPU
  features.
