I was just wondering if dropping the button isn't a bad idea, some guest
OS might have problems when it is ran on different CPU, which is what
might happen with host-model after destroy/start, but would be avoided
with 'Copy host configuration'.  I'm not saying 'host-model' is wrong,
we definitely want the support for that.

Hope that's more understandable,
