Oh, I forgot I'd also like to see what QEMU/KVM is thinking about the
host CPU. If you have QEMU and KVM enabled on the hosts (or you are
willing to do so), please, also send me the output of the following
command:

qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu host -machine accel=kvm -nodefaults -nographic \
-qmp unix:/tmp/socket,server,nowait & sleep 5; echo \
'{"execute":"qmp_capabilities"}{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":' \
'{"path":"/machine/unattached/device[0]","property":"feature-words"},' \
'"id":"feature-words"}{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":' \
'"/machine/unattached/device[0]","property":"family"},"id":"family"}' \
'{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":' \
'"/machine/unattached/device[0]","property":"model"},"id":"model"}' \
'{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":' \
'"/machine/unattached/device[0]","property":"stepping"},"id":' \
'"stepping"}{"execute":"qom-get","arguments":{"path":' \
'"/machine/unattached/device[0]","property":"model-id"},"id":' \
'"model-id"}{"execute":"quit"}' | nc -U /tmp/socket

Replace qemu-system-x86_64 with the appropriate QEMU binary name
(qemu-kvm, /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm, ...).

BTW, none of these commands should require root privileges.

Thanks a lot,

Jirka
