Hi snoopin,
Quick question: is there any felt impact from the upgrade in terms of your VM, performance, or anything with your USB devices attached to that controller? If not, the message is likely harmless, but curious if you can trace this back to any symptoms you notice when using the VM.
I also get the same:
2017-02-05T13:30:01.642740Z qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Unknown firmware file in legacy mode: etc/msr_feature_control
And my Ubuntu VM now is terribly slow and laggy. Trying to type in a terminal will yield something like:
apt-get upgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
and just hang, then eventually come back. Very bad performance. Was smooth as butter prior to the upgrade of 6.2.4 -> 6.3.0. No config changes, just upgrade through webui.
Ok, assuming this is over VNC. Can you try this solution from our upgrade notes to see if it fixes it for you?
I was already on Q35 2.5, so I changed it to Q35 2.7 and I still have the same sluggish behavior, and same logs.
And yes, I use the built in VNC interface.
What about the vnc video driver?

Same stuttered behavior when changing from QXL to Cirrus. Just tested.....
Can you repost diagnostics? Also please share your VM XML.

Here you are (VM is off at the time of creation, as I can't use it) - I added a VM.xml inside the zip as well (note, I switched Video driver back since it made no difference).
As a data point, I'm experiencing the EXACT issues with my ubuntu VNC VM. I've tried all types of combinations for machine type (440 v q35) and VNC driver (all 3).
I even tried to create a NEW VM using ubuntu 16.04 and 16.10 and I can immediately tell the problem persists, dont even have to install the OS just in the installer it has issues.
My Plex Media Player VM with HD5450 passthru seems to be working just fine.
During the Ubuntu installer, the initial part that is a text only menu works fine, it's only when the GUI is loaded.
