Hmm okay. Still I think I'd rather not add this here in the cli path since
it's basically just duplicating libvirt logic for not a ton of gain. For the
common case of actually starting a VM with virt-install it won't matter, so it
will only give extra validation in less common cases like virt-install
--print-xml, or virt-xml.

For virt-manager if we choose to expose it in the UI, we could make the UI a
combo box based on the domcaps output, and avoid the need to do validation
entirely.

Thanks,
Cole
