Public bug reported:

for haswell, /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml lists the following:

    <model name='Haswell'>
      <model name='SandyBridge'/>
      <feature name='fma'/>
      <feature name='pcid'/>
      <feature name='movbe'/>
      <feature name='fsgsbase'/>
      <feature name='bmi1'/>
      <feature name='hle'/>
      <feature name='avx2'/>
      <feature name='smep'/>
      <feature name='bmi2'/>
      <feature name='erms'/>
      <feature name='invpcid'/>
      <feature name='rtm'/>
    </model>

"hle" and "rtm" has been pulled from haswell via microcode updates which
means that with the current map, libvirt will never identify Haswell
CPUs properly.

This will prevent OpenStack deployments from properly setting up their
VMs which will prevent live-migration.

Just for the record, these are the ones available on a E5-2630v3:
