Description
When running a job using Qemu v3 the following error is being shown,

might be related to https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-06/msg04742.html although Failed to set KVM's VSMT mode to 8 Looks suspicious enough too

Since this might be a qemu problem i asked Zaoliang to report it: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110173

That bug is something completely different though

- Subject changed from Settings in Qemu 3.0 seem to be troublesome to [ppc64] Settings in Qemu 3.0 seem to be troublesome
So this seems to be on ppc64 only for the time being

I faced quite similar error during worker setup on ppc64le on SLE15.

It is not exactly same (different qemu version and final error), but can be interesting for you.

Rbrown reported this one for qemu 3.1: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1121604
"disallowing migration blocker (--only_migratable) for: Nested VMX virtualization does not support live migration yet"
"x86 machines cannot be live-migrated if nested Intel virtualization is enabled. The next version of QEMU will be able to do live migration when nested virtualization is enabled, if supported by the kernel.

I can reproduce something similar on SLE15SP1:

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1124589 was fixed. I have never seen this error, e.g. also not after upgrading all workers to openSUSE Leap 15.1 so I assume it's not a problem anymore
