Public bug reported:

There seem to be conditions where old qemu/libvirt created guests with
the osxsafe feature

    <model fallback='allow'>Broadwell-noTSX</model>
    <vendor>Intel</vendor>
...
    <feature policy='require' name='osxsave'/>

That feature was now removed in recent qemu.
=> https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=commit;h=f1a23522


But its lack might cause issues starting some old guests using it after upgrade.
  qemu-system-x86_64: can't apply global Broadwell-noTSX-x86_64-cpu.osxsave=on: 
Property '.osxsave' not found

Same bug in Fedora:
 => https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1644848

I'd want to analyze omre of the background, why we have it in our IBRS
type (still it seems) and if we can make modifications to make the
transition more smooth.
