As discussed yesterday on libvir-list, the current
implementation will abort() when the user attempts to use
a compat mode that's not valid for the host CPU, eg. on
a POWER8 host:

  $ qemu-system-ppc64 \
    -nodefaults \
    -M pseries,accel=kvm \
    -cpu host,compat=power9
  Unexpected error in ppc_set_compat() at target/ppc/compat.c:135:
  qemu-system-ppc64: Compatibility PVR 0x0f000005 not valid for CPU
  Aborted

We should probably report the error to the user in a slightly
less destructive fashion :)
