PCID has been introduced in Westmere and, since Linux 3.6
(ad756a1603c5), KVM exposes PCID flag if host has it. Update CPU model
for Westmere, Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge accordingly.
Ensure compat 2.11 keeps PCID disabled by default for those models and
document the new requirement for host kernel.

+On x86_64 hosts, the default set of CPU features enabled by the KVM
+accelerator require the host to be running Linux v3.6 or newer. If the
+minimum requirement is not met, the guest will not be runnable,
+depending on the selected CPU model. Older emulated machines, like
+``pc-q35-2.10'', may work with older kernels.
