There is a Linux kernel bug present until v5.12 that prevents
booting with FEAT_LPA2 enabled.  As a workaround for TCG,
disable this feature for machine versions prior to 7.0.

Is it not possible to implement this in the usual "change
property for older versioned machines" way of adding to
the hw_compat arrays?

Hmm, I didn't try that, just mirrored the other examples within hw/arm/virt.c.
I guess the real type name would be TYPE_ARM_MAX_CPU, or "max-arm-cpu".

...

Yes, that works.  I'll send an update.

Do check it with KVM as well, to check the "CPU doesn't actually
have that property" case...

Argh!  No, doesn't work.

Unexpected error in object_property_find_err() at ../src/qom/object.c:1299:
qemu-system-aarch64: can't apply global max-arm-cpu.lpa2=off: Property 'max-arm-cpu.lpa2' 
not found

I think staying with the v4 patch is best.  It matches quite a few other examples in 
hw/arm, and uses the existence of the property as part of the logic already.
