Is this different issue than what was discussed in:
https://www.mail-archive.com/openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org/msg109516.html

The message is slightly different (might be changed in newer qemu used
now), but the issue I had before was that features of selected -cpu and
host cpu didn't match and qemu failed with:
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: host doesn't support requested feature:
CPUID.01H:EDX.ss [bit 27]
when some features were missing and kvm was used.

If it's the same root cause, then it's not a bug in qemu.
