*** I realize this is late in the cycle, but this really helps alleviate potential live migration problems on some Intel hardware during upgrades and updates.  This is technically a simple feature; but can also be considered a "bug fix" that unblocks live migration in some scenarios.
 
*** Main Benefit: The ability to selectively disable CPU features for a guest means: newly launched VMs on a compute node can now disable offending guest CPU flags that block live migration.  This facilitates live migration to a host with TSX=off.
 
*** Example: Today, a VM running on a compute node with Intel TSX=on (which is the default on all Linux kernels until v.5.11) cannot be migrated to a node with Intel TSX=off.  But, the ability to selectively disable CPU flags alleviates this (and similar problems) — you can now keep TSX enabled on a host, and yet block it for the guest via `cpu_model_extra_flags`.  This unblocks live-migrating the said guest to a host with TSX=off.
 
*** Notes: On relevant Intel processors, TSX is suggested to be disabled as it can be a potential security problem.  TSX is disabled by default upstream Linux v.5.11 (Oct-2019)
