Now that properties are set with -global, if we pass a bogus value for
compat mode, a warning is printed and the property is simply ignored.
For example, if the host is POWER8 and we pass compat=POWER7 instead of
compat=power7 the guest will see a POWER8 cpu.

While here, this patch also changes the error message to be more explicit.

Of course this causes qom-set to exit as well... not sure this is what we want.

Yeah, that seems wrong.  If I'm reading this right this is obsoleted
by your later generic patch adding an &error_fatal to the generic
code, yes?
