>>don't start at all.

because we have also add the new cpu ensure flag, to be sure that all features are available

here the result with an intel process and opteron as cpu model

I think it'll will crash at boot ;) or don't start at all. 

only kvm64 && qemu64 models are safe to use with any cpu model, 
because they exposed only minimal flags which exist on both amd && intel. 

If you have a mixed cluster with intel/amd, you need to used kvm64|qemu64 for live migration. 

if you have only intel cluster or only amd cluster, you can choose the lowest cpu model you have in the cluster to be sure that migration will work.

Just to get the big picture, what does happen if I set my guest to this 
cpu model, and my host is an for instance Opteron ( so there will be a 
mismatch in cpuflags betwwen host and guest ) 

Is it safe ? Is there a performance penalty ?
