[libvirt-users] CPU model and type

[Bhasker C V]

you can set the CPU type and model and features
https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html
I usually give it during the virt-install as -cpu core2duo,+vmx  (the
,+vmx will enable vmx vt extensions on the guest CPU )

  ...
  <cpu match='exact'>
    <model fallback='allow'>core2duo</model>
    <vendor>Intel</vendor>
    <topology sockets='1' cores='2' threads='1'/>
    <feature policy='disable' name='lahf_lm'/>
  </cpu>
  ...
