On ICX-2S2 host, when run L2 guest with both L1/L2 using Icelake-Server-v3
or above, we got below warning:
"warning: host doesn't support requested feature: MSR(10AH).taa-no [bit 8]"
This is because L1 KVM doesn't expose taa-no to L2 if RTM is disabled,
then starting L2 qemu triggers the warning.
Fix it by restoring TSX features in Icelake-Server-v3, which may also help
guest performance if host isn't susceptible to TSX Async Abort (TAA)
vulnerabilities.

Icelake-Server CPU model")
