s390x/kvm: use cpu model for gscb on compat machines
Starting a guest with
<os>
<type arch='s390x' machine='s390-ccw-virtio-2.9'>hvm</type>
</os>
<cpu mode='host-model'/>
on an IBM z14 results in
"qemu-system-s390x: Some features requested in the CPU model are not
available in the configuration: gs"
This is because guarded storage is fenced for compat machines that did
not have guarded storage support. While this prevents future migration
abort (by not starting the guest at all), not being able to start a
"host-model" guest is very much unexpected. As it turns out, even if we
would modify libvirt to not expand the cpu model to contain "gs" for
compat machines, it cannot guarantee that a migration will succeed. For
example if the kernel changes its features (or the user has nested=1 on
one host but not on the other) the migration will fail nevertheless. So
instead of fencing "gs" for machines <= 2.9 lets allow it for all
machine types that support the CPU model. This will make "host-model"
runnable all the time, while relying on the CPU model to reject invalid
migration attempts. We also need to change the migration for guarded
storage.
Additional discussions about host-model are still pending but are out
of scope of this patch.
