| Doc Text: |
Due to the fact that the libvirt library uses different ways of checking
machine types supported by the qemu-kvm module in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, libvirt previously advertized both the canonical
machine type name and its alias as supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, but
only the alias in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. With this update, libvirt requests
the list of supported machine types from qemu-kvm and updates the list to always
contain both the canonical name and its alias. While the methods to retrieve
supported machine types from qemu-kvm differ, both canonical machine type names
and their aliases are now advertized as supported in both versions of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.

Reproduce this bug with libvirt-1.2.8-16.el7_1.4.x86_64, couldn't see the default machine type in the capabilities, could only see the canonical machine type
# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -machine help
Supported machines are:
pc RHEL 7.1.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (alias of pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0)
pc-i440fx-rhel7.1.0 RHEL 7.1.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) (default)
pc-i440fx-rhel7.0.0 RHEL 7.0.0 PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
