So if you had a 2.6.18 kernel and a 2.6.33 kernel, it may be necessary
to say:

(2.6.33) qemu -cpu Nehalem,-syscall
(2.6.18) qemu -cpu Nehalem


Or let qemu do it automatically for you.

qemu on 2.6.33 doesn't know that you're running qemu on 2.6.18 on
another node.


We can live with it, either have qemu realize the kernel version out of another existing feature or query uname.

Alternatively, the matching libvirt package can be the one adding or removing it in the right distribution.

There's another option.

Make cpuid information part of live migration protocol, and then support something like -cpu Xeon-3550. We would remember the exact cpuid mask we present to the guest and then we could validate that we can obtain the same mask on the destination.
