Matthew Bauer 47b56e7c19 runInLinuxVM, test-driver: use -cpu max instead of -cpu host
This appears to avoid requiring KVM when it’s not available. This is
what I originally though -cpu host did. Unfortunately not much
documentation available from the QEMU side on this, but this appears
to square with help:

$ qemu-system-x86 -cpu help
...
x86 host                  KVM processor with all supported host features
x86 max                   Enables all features supported by the accelerator in the current host
...

Whether we actually want to support this not clear, since this only
happens when your CPU doesn’t have full KVM support. Some Nix builders
are lying about kvm support though. Things aren’t too slow without it
though.
