[libvirt] [PATCH 0/5] Use non-blacklisted family/model/stepping for Haswell CPU model

A recent glibc commit[1] added a blacklist to ensure it won't use TSX on hosts that are known to have a broken TSX implementation. Our existing Haswell CPU model has a blacklisted family/model/stepping combination, so it has to be updated to make sure guests will really use TSX. This is done by patch 5/5. However, to do this safely we need to ensure the host CPU is not a blacklisted one, so we won't mislead guests by exposing known-to-be-good FMS values on a known-to-be-broken host. This is done by patch 3/5.
