I don't recall the link but "max" is supposed to be the standard shorthand
for "enable all the features supported by the virt type". IOW, 'max' should
work both KVM and TCG ("host" was only well defined for KVM), and across
all architectures.

So having to use a different name on s390 is a bug in QEMU imho.
