[PATCH] microvm: do not use the lastest cpu version
Posted by Ani Sinha 11 months, 4 weeks ago 
Microvm machines are not versioned and therefore there is no requirement to use
the latest cpu model by default. Let microvms use the non-versioned cpu model.
Those users who need spefific cpu versions can use explicit commandline to
select the cpu version desired.

I'd also add here a reason why we are doing that to begin with.
