Maybe we can reconsider this decision, the only thing that would not
work is live migration to destination with different CPU and we can
have a warning/info about it in the UI.

Possibly we could allow to set 'host-passthrough' as the default guest
CPU in virt-manager config.

Most workstation/desktop users of virt-manager probably doesn't care
about live migration and it would copy the host CPU as closely as
possible.  Since we allow to manually type in 'host-passthrough' I
personally don't see any reason why it cannot be selectable.
