Bug 1539823

Description of problem:
 When we try to use vhost-user, but the QEMU binary has the feature compiled out - like qemu-kvm and qemu-kvm-ma, libvirt spawns QEMU message directly. This can be enhanced in libvirt to give more meaningful message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-ma-2.10.0-17.el7.ppc64le
libvirt-3.9.0-9.el7.ppc64le
kernel-4.14.0-25.el7a.ppc64le

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit /etc/default/grub
Append "numa=off" and "hugepages=1024" (enable the hugepage and disable numa)
2. Run "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg"
3. Reboot the guest( Run "reboot")
4. Set selinux
Run "setenforce 0 " (bug1278495)
5. Run the shell scripts:

#!/bin/bash

set -e
set -x
echo "killing old ovs process"
pkill -f ovs- || true
pkill -f ovsdb || true

echo "probing ovs kernel module"

echo "clean env"
DB_FILE=/etc/openvswitch/conf.db
rm -rf /var/run/openvswitch
mkdir /var/run/openvswitch
rm -f $DB_FILE

echo "init ovs db and boot db server"

ovs-vsctl add-port br0 vhost-vm2 -- set Interface vhost-vm2 type=dpdkvhostuser

6. Define one guest (Reminder: the guest name. the disk source, the interface mac, the interface source path need to change) (Warning: "mrg_rxbuf='off'" is a must)

7. Start the guest
# virsh start dpdk1
error: Failed to start domain dpdk1
error: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2018-01-25T08:40:41.859965Z qemu-kvm: -netdev vhost-user,chardev=charnet0,queues=2,id=hostnet0: Parameter 'type' expects a netdev backend type

Actual results:
See step 7.

Expected results:
Libvirt can display more meaningful message.
