@Serge, A workaround for me is to use "hypervisor default" in virt- manager. I'm not sure what the equivalent is in virt-install, but maybe using --cpu=host-model-only would be a workaround?
>From the man page: Expose the host CPUs configuration to the guest. This enables the guest to take advantage of many of the host CPUs features (better performance), but may cause issues if migrating the guest to a host without an identical CPU. --cpu host-model-only Expose the nearest host CPU model configuration to the guest. It is the best CPU which can be used for a guest on any of the hosts. Use --cpu=? to see a list of all available sub options.
