Public bug reported:
When using latest QEMU (-proposed) in Xenial you might encounter the
following problem when trying to initialize your guests:

This happens because x86_cpu_get_migratable_flags() does not support
CPUID_EXT2_AMD_ALIASES. After cherry-picking upstream patch
9997cf7bdac056aeed246613639675c5a9f8fdc2, that moves
CPUID_EXT2_AMD_ALIASES code to after x86_cpu_filter_features(), the
problem is fixed. Other QEMU versions are properly fixed and don't face
this issue.
Cherry-picking commit and re-building the package makes it to work:
----
(c)inaddy@qemubug:~$ virsh start --console kguest
