Using a CPU type that does not match the host is not possible when using the kvm-hv kernel module - the PVR is checked in the kernel function kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs_hv() and rejected with -EINVAL if it does not match the host. However, when the user tries to specify a non-matching CPU type, QEMU currently only reports "kvm_init_vcpu failed: Invalid argument", and this is of course not very helpful for the user to solve the problem. So this patch adds a more descriptive error message that tells the user to specify "-cpu host" instead.
