I'll do that later, as we really should fix this properly at some
point. But for now, being able to merge this branch seems
higher-priority.

This fixes the issue for me.

I am (at least on this branch - 353fcde).

Can't do that:

      Call to virDomainCreateWithFlags failed: unsupported
      configuration: guest and host CPU are not compatible: Host CPU
      does not provide required features: aes (Libvirt::Error)


I think it raises the bar way to high in terms of hardware needed to
run the test suite. I also tried:

* Westmere: my CPU isn't good enough
* Nehalem: fails to start X
* <cpu mode="host-model"> fails to start X
* kvm64: seems to work, but likely suboptimal

=> I've started the full test suite run with kvm64, and will report
back later.

Was the "fails to start X with libvirt from wheezy-backports" bug
reported upstream? If you do report the bug, I'll try to reproduce it
on current sid. Piling up workarounds is fun, but if this could be
fixed properly where it should, we would be very happy in the end :)

Cheers!
