Hi,
I've been using my core i5 6500 (skylake-client) for some time now to test
oVirt on my machine.
However this is no longer the case.
I am using Fedora 32 as my base system with nested-kvm enabled, when I try
to install oVirt 4.4 as HCI single node, I get an error in the last phase
which consists of copying the VM-Manager to the engine volume and boot it.
It is the boot that causes the problem, I get an error about the CPU :
*the CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide required
features: mpx*
*This is the CPU part from virsh domcapabilities on my physical machine*

it seems not all the flags are presented to the hypervisor especially the
mpx which causes the error
Is there a workaround for this?
