This will allow users to override the default behavior of virt-install
which copies CPU security features available on the host to the guest
XML if specific CPU model is configured.

Libvirt's feature policy values force, require, optional, disable, or forbid,
or with the shorthand '+feature' and '-feature', which equal 'force=feature'
-and 'disable=feature' respectively
+and 'disable=feature' respectively.
+
+If exact CPU model is specified virt-install will automatically copy CPU
+security features available on the host to mitigate recent CPU CVEs.
+This however will have some impact on performance and will break migration
+to hosts without security patches. In order to turn off this default behavior
+there is a B<secure> parameter. Possible values are I<on> and I<off>.
Some examples:
