hi ,
yes there is Libvirt verison are not same as you pointed between Host
(2.0)and Guest (old version 1.2).
Not sure if this can fix the issue .Guest image is pre -compiled image ,let
me try if i can update the libvirt .
Else i feel In practice it seems Guest CPU cannot simulate non supported
features by Host CPU Model .
thanks

You are running the 'virsh capablities' in the guest as well, right?
Make sure you have same versions of libvirt in the guest and the host
so that they have the same CPU specifications
1. Could I get explanation of the why inconsistency .
