==> default: Starting domain.
There was an error talking to Libvirt. The error message is shown
below:

Call to virDomainCreateWithFlags failed: internal error: early end of file from monitor, possible problem: warning: host doesn't support requested feature: CPUID.01H:EDX.ds [bit 21]

And the domain’s XML says:

  <cpu mode='host-model'>
    <model fallback='allow'>qemu64</model>
  </cpu>

… which actually is not really valid, btw: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU says that “Specifying CPU model is not supported either”, about host-model.

This fixes it for me:
