Ok, I apparently forgot to force the CPUID xlevel to be 0x8000000A when
SVM is enabled, probably because I only tested CPUID models where xlevel
already defaults to 0x8000000A. Attached is a fix, thanks for catching
this.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] qemu: Force xlevel to at least 0x8000000A if SVM is enabled
This patch forces the extended CPUID level to be at least
0x8000000A if SVM is enabled in the CPU model.

I can't say I like the interdependency, but saying something like -cpu
kvm64,+svm,xlevel=0x8000000a is much worse.
If no one has a better idea, I'll apply the patch.
