Qemu dropped cpu features for osxsave and ospke [1][2].
The reason for the instant removal is that those features were never
configurable as discussed in [3].
Fortunately the use cases adding those flags in the past are rare, but
they exist. One that I identified are e.g. older virt-install when used
with --cpu=host-model and there always could be the case of a user
adding it to the guest xml.
This triggers an issue like:

Ensure that this does no more break spawning newer qemu versions by

However, as it turns out it's not safe to use both at the same

memory (this is done by actually touching every page that has
been allocated). Then, if .prealloc=yes is specified,

a) has to (possibly) move the memory to a different NUMA node,
b) can have no effect when hugepages are in play (thus ignoring user
