error: Failed to start domain test
error: the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide required features: clwb, sha-ni, rdpid, mmxext, fxsr_opt, svm, cr8legacy, sse4a, misalignsse, osvw, perfctr_core, clzero, xsaveerptr, wbnoinvd, npt, nrip-save

While I had no Rome cpu around one can see it now knew how to make one up (showing me what features I miss).

This LGTM and also had shown no issues in the regression and migration tests.
Up to @Markus to give this a final verification on the respective CPU then we can call it verified.
