[CentOS-virt] Masking CPU flags via libvirt xml not working?

Hi,

I guess this is the wrong approach:

Libvirt does manage cpu type in an xml file,
you would have to alter this xml file:

/usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml

HTH

PS: Maybe add an feature request upstream
to enable this for all libvirt users?

I have seen this request quite some time
on different mailing lists.
