All Intel Haswell processors (except Xeon E7 v3 with stepping >= 4) have
TSX disabled by microcode update. As not all CPUs are guaranteed to be
patched with microcode updates we need to explicitly disable TSX on
affected CPUs to avoid its accidental usage.

The original test didn't use family/model numbers to make better
decisions about the CPU model and thus mis-detected the model in the two
cases which are modified in this commit. The detected CPU models now
match those obtained from raw CPUID data.

While "x86" is a CPU sub driver name, it is not a recognized name of any
architecture known to libvirt. Let's use "x86_64" prefix which can be
used with virArch APIs.
