Checking that instructions are absent is broken when running with CPU models other than the bare metal processor's, because neither VMX nor SVM have intercept controls for the instructions. This can even happen with "-cpu max" when running under nested virtualization, which is the current situation in the Fedora KVM job on Cirrus-CI: FAIL: clflushopt (ABSENT) FAIL: clwb (ABSENT) In other words it looks like the features have been marked as disabled in the L0 host, while the hardware supports them.
