Subject: [PATCH] CI: set cpu_model to Nehalem for kvm jobs
RHEL 9 are being compiled for the x86_64-v2 architecture which is
newer than the qemu default of qemu64. Nehalem is apparently the
oldest model that works for x86_64-v2 and is expected to work on
Intel and AMD cpus with kvm or qemu.
See devstack change [0].
