+ Nova's use of libvirt's compareCPU() API has become error-prone as
+ it doesn't take into account host hypervisor's capabilities. With
+ QEMU >=2.9 and libvirt >= 4.4.0, libvirt will do the right thing in
+ terms of CPU comparison checks via a new replacement API,
+ compareHypervisorCPU(). Nova satisfies the said minimum version
+ requirements of QEMU and libvirt by a good margin.
+
+ This change replaces the usage of older API, compareCPU(), with the
+ new one, compareHypervisorCPU().
