Thanks, it's very good to know!

If I'm reading the regex right, this ^, a string literal on a separate line, is 
excluded
from the line length check.

Re: [PATCH v2] target/s390x: improve cpu compatibility check error message

some users were confused by this message showing under TCG:

Selected CPU generation is too new. Maximum supported model
in the configuration: 'xyz'


(Note for the maintainer queuing this patch, consider adding
 few extra spaces to indent the previously displayed output).


Clarify that the maximum can depend on the accel, and add a
hint to try a different one.

Also add a hint for features mismatch to suggest trying
different accel, QEMU and kernel versions.
