Dear All,
I'm reaching this mail-list to ask a small question about disabling
'3dnowprefetch' CPU feature in Xen Guest using libvirt.
This is my environment:
Fedora release 26 (Twenty Six)
4.11.0-0.rc3.git0.2.fc26.x86_64
xen-4.8.1-2.fc26.x86_64
libvirt-3.2.1-1.fc26.x86_64
I can disable '3dnowprefetch' CPU feature in guest via 'xl' command, with
adding `cpuid='host,3dnowprefetch=0'` into the CFG file.
However, follow the instruction
(https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU
<https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU>), I added the following
block into my XML file:
```
<cpu mode='host-passthrough' check='none'>
<feature policy='disable' name='3dnowprefetch'/>
</cpu>
```
Created the instance, seemed this feature was not being disabled in my
guest. (I was able to see '3dnowprefetch' in `lscpu` outputs)
Anybody has idea on this? Does libvirt support this for Xen?
Currently, the libvirt libxl driver only supports VMX or SVM CPU feature, and
for that you'd need libvirt 3.3.0

More support for CPU customization is on the todo list. Contributions are always
warmly welcomed :-).
Regards,
Jim
