[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] vl.c: Output error on invalid machine type provided

[Michal Novotny]

Output error message when user provides the invalid machine type
on the command line. This also saves time to find what issue is
when you upgrade from one version of qemu to another version that
doesn't support required machine type any longer.
