Since the automatic cpuid-level code was introduced in commit
c39c0edf9b ("target-i386: Automatically
set level/xlevel/xlevel2 when needed"), the CPU model tables just define
the default CPUID level code (set using "min-level"). Setting
"[x]level" forces CPUID level to a specific value and disable the
automatic-level logic.
But the PC compat code was not updated and the existing "[x]level"
compat properties broke compatibility for people using features that
triggered the auto-level code. To keep previous behavior, we should set
"min-[x]level" instead of "[x]level" on compat_props.
This was not a problem for most cases, because old machine-types don't
have full-cpuid-auto-level enabled. The only common use case it broke
was the CPUID[7] auto-level code, that was already enabled since the
first CPUID[7] feature was introduced (in QEMU 1.4.0).
This causes the regression reported at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1454641
Change the PC compat code to use "min-[x]level" instead of "[x]level" on
compat_props, and add new test cases to ensure we don't break this
again.
