Hello..
can you send cpu info(/proc/cpuinfo or dmidecode)?

This would be consistent with the error message which states that target host (Westmere) isn't compatible with the 'Broadwell-noTSX' CPU model, even though the VM is configured as Westmere (<model fallback='allow'>Westmere</model>).

And if "cpu mode='custom'", guest and target CPU models are compared. This would also be consistent with the fact I can migrate from a Westmere to a Broadwell, as Broadwell is a superset of Westmere but not the other way around.
