When such renamed feature was reported by QEMU as blocking + usability of a CPU model, we would fail to explicitly disable it when + creating a baseline CPU definition using this model. This bug did not have + any functional impact when the default ``check='partial'`` attribute was + used for guest CPU definition in domain XML, but it could have caused + failures to start a domain with ``check='full'`` in some cases. v8.8.0 (2022-10-03) =================== -- 2.38.0
