Subject: [PATCH] builder: Replace -cpu host with -cpu max in example

When KVM isn't present, some versions of qemu may print:

  qemu-system-x86_64: Could not access KVM kernel module: No such file or directory
  qemu-system-x86_64: failed to initialize kvm: No such file or directory
  qemu-system-x86_64: falling back to tcg
  qemu-system-x86_64: CPU model 'host' requires KVM or HVF

Use -cpu max instead which should work in both cases.
