Subject: [PATCH] aarch64: launch: libvirt: As a workaround, pass -cpu
parameter to qemu.
When libguestfs is running using TCG on aarch64, we need to pass the
-cpu cortex-a57 parameter to qemu. Libvirt doesn't let us do this,
complaining "Unable to find CPU definition".
As a temporary workaround only, use <qemu:commandline> to pass this
argument directly to qemu. When libvirt is fixed we can remove this
hack.
This is a workaround for libvirt bug RHBZ#1184411.
See:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1184411
(cherry picked from commit 7e4b7a346a4558a02aeb58f82d518509ce6e5d03)
