Subject: [PATCH] appliance: Use -cpu max.
QEMU has a newish feature (from about 2017 / qemu 2.9) called -cpu max
which is supposed to select the best CPU, ideal for libguestfs.
After this change, on x86-64:
KVM TCG
Direct -cpu max -cpu max
(non-libvirt)
Libvirt <cpu mode="host-passthrough"> <cpu mode="host-model">
<model fallback="allow"/> <model fallback="allow"/>
</cpu> </cpu>
