Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
with upstream kernel commit: ac212b6 (ACPI / processor: Use common hotplug infrastructure)

processor related events have 'DRIVER=processor' bound to them,
as result systemd-204-9.el7.1.x86_64 fails to match auto-load modalias rule:

DRIVER!="?*", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", IMPORT{builtin}="kmod load $env{MODALIAS}"

and kvm module is not loaded, which leads to kvm being unavailable on host and virt-install fallbacks to slow TCG accelerator instead of KVM.

systemd upstream fix:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=bf7f800f2b3e93ccd1229d4717166f3a4d3af72f

Please back-port it to RHEL7.0 please as it blocks kernel bug 967561

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-204-9.el7.1.x86_64
host with 3.10.0-4.el7.kpq kernel

How reproducible:
100% reproducible on
 amd-dinar-08.lab.bos.redhat.com
 and a number of other hosts (see recipe https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/jobs/464090)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install  RHEL-7.0-20130722.n.0 Server x86_64
2. install 3.10.0-4.el7.kpq kernel and reboot host
3. lsmod|grep kvm 

Actual results:
 no kvm modules were auto-loaded

Expected results:
 kvm modules are auto-loaded

In RHEL-7, the current systemd version is 206-7, so this patch is already included.
