I guess the issue here is that there is no way to identify if a QEMU machine supports CPU models - except trying to start something very basic like "-cpu z900" and getting told that it does not work.

Nobody ever stumbled over this, because with the old QEMU versions/machines, I guess there weren't any real enterprise users. Migration without CPU model support is not guaranteed to work either way - especially when migrating between different HW/Hypervisors.

Having that said, I don't think introducing new interfaces (e.g., exporting if a QEMU machine supports CPU models) is worth it. We could blacklist the affected QEMU machines in libvirt, but yeah, that's always hacky.
