The AIS feature has been disabled late in the v2.10 development cycle since
there were some issues with migration (see commit 3f2d07b3b01ea61126b -
"s390x/ais: for 2.10 stable: disable ais facility"). We originally wanted
to enable it again for newer machine types, but apparently we forgot to do
this so far. Let's do it now for the machines that support proper CPU models.

 v5: Use cpu_model_allowed() as suggested by David. Seems to work as far
     as I can test it without PCI cards, but ping-pong migration with
     "-cpu host" from/to an older version of QEMU is now not working
     anymore - but I think that's kind of expected since "-cpu host"
     is not migration-safe anyway.

Yes, exactly.

Ok, so I'll wait for test results with pci cards before queuing this :)

Side note: as you do not add a new _allowed() function, you don't add
the clarifying comment anymore -- any value in doing so as a separate
patch? And maybe stating as well that new features of that type should
rely on the cpu model?

+1, mentioning that cpu_model_allowed() is to be used for all such
things (unlock new cpu features in a  safe way for old compat machines)
in the future.

Ok, Matthew, could you please test one more time?

Yes, I'm planning to send a patch once this one here got accepted.

Ran all of the same tests as before, looks good!
