References: bsc#1067018 - L3: KVM Guest creation failed - Property .cmt not found Some hardware has the .cmt cpu feature but qemu doesn't support it. libvirt includes it in the cpu capabilities read in by virt-manager. Using 'host-model' was known to have issues in the past and so a copy method was set up to manually copy cpu features one at a time (including the unsupported cmt flag). This patch simply avoids the special copy feature when "Copy host CPU definition" is set in the Preferences -> New VM -> CPU Default pop-up menu and falls back to using 'host-model'. It should be noted that selecting "Customize configuration before install" and "CPUs" -> "Copy host CPU definition" also inserts 'host-model' so this change mirrors what is already done there.
