The libvirt driver now allows specifying individual CPU feature
flags for guest, via a new configuration parameter
``[libvirt]/cpu_model_extra_flags`` -- this is valid in combination
with all the three possible values for ``[libvirt]/cpu_mode``:
``custom``, ``host-model`` and ``host-passthrough``. The
``cpu_model_extra_flags`` allows specifying multiple CPU flags.
The recent "Meltdown" CVE fixes have resulted in critical
performance penalty which impacts every Nova guest within
certain CPU models.
