https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/tripleo-quickstart/+/818043 is Temporary patch to exclude libvirt/qemu from AppStream repo to unblock the CI.

Based on some local tests, qemu-kvm exclude was enough but ok to exclude libvirt too considering the workaround as temporary.

Good version:- qemu-kvm-6.0.0-33.el8s.x86_64
Bad version:- qemu-kvm-6.1.0-4.module_el8.6.0+983+a7505f3f.x86_64

Also checking further it seems issue is specific to q35 machine type which is set for TripleO deployments[1] since wallaby. Just to test tried manually changing machine type to victoria equivalent and instance booted fine. Also NOTE issue is not seen in devstack/packstac/puppet jobs as those don't have q35 machine type set.

I think someone from Compute will have more insights on why latest qemu-kvm have issues with q35 machine type instances. The workaround can be reverted once the issue is root caused and fixed properly.
