Hi iordan,
The text you provided is based on the information we get from libvirt
with some restrictions we impose specifically on hosted engine to make
sure its VM can live-migrate from one host to the other.

You can see more info here:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Virtualization_Administration_Guide/ch15s13s03.html

Can you provide the output of 'virsh capabilities' on your AMD Kabini?
