When start L2 guest with both L1/L2 using Icelake-Server-v3 or above, QEMU reports below warning: "warning: host doesn't support requested feature: MSR(10AH).taa-no [bit 8]" Reason is QEMU Icelake-Server-v3 has TSX feature disabled but enables taa-no bit. It's meaningless that TSX isn't supported but still claim TSX is secure. So L1 KVM doesn't expose taa-no to L2 if TSX is unsupported, then starting L2 triggers the warning. Fix it by introducing a new version Icelake-Server-v7 which has both TSX and taa-no features. Then guest can use TSX securely when it see taa-no. This matches the production Icelake which supports TSX and isn't susceptible to TSX Async Abort (TAA) vulnerabilities, a.k.a, taa-no. Ideally, TSX should have being enabled together with taa-no since v3, but for compatibility, we'd better to add v7 to enable it.
