The intel-microcode 3.20140913.1 update disables TSX-NI (transactional
memory instructions). When a server running libvirt is rebooted with
this update, libvirt no longer considers the machine to have a Haswell
CPU:
# virsh capabilities | grep -A1 '<arch>x86_64'
<arch>x86_64</arch>
<model>SandyBridge</model>
Since Intel disables the feature on their CPUs we shouldn't check for it
as well to keep VMs using Haswell working.
This was debugged and reported by Chris Boot at
