How to confirm this? Currently I cannot find any (case-insensitive)
"MPAM" files in /sys, nor mpam string in /proc/cpuinfo, nor MPAM strings
in `strace -v` (as it decodes some KVM ioctls) of qemu process.

I requested admins of the box for dmesg output since I don't have root
access myself and nowadays dmesg is not accessible for a user.

Also, I tried to reproduce on another Kunpeng box with slightly
different HiSilicon CPU (presenting to the system as Cortex-A72) and the
problem is not reproducible there.

While things are not resolved, is it possible to workaround the problem
with some QEMU option, kernel command line, config option, or a patch?
