If the amd64 and i386 versions of the package are behaving differently in this respect, on otherwise the same hardware, kernel and distro, then I can only presume this is a bug, so my next step would be to raise this on the development list.> > Martin > >> Struan >> >> On 03/03/2014 10:00, Martin Kletzander wrote: >>> On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 03:45:01PM +0000, Struan Bartlett wrote: >>>> Hi >>>> >>>> On a range of Dell servers containing Intel 64bit processors, 'virsh >>>> capabilities' reports the cpu differently on Debian Wheezy-amd64 and >>>> Wheezy-i386.

You can try running 'cpuid -ir' (or 'cpuid -ir1' if it's the same on all cpus) on both machines, that will give you the results libvirt is processing. If that output is different than there is nothing libvirt can do.
