Jammy Libvirt Support for Intel Sapphire Rapids

Hello Ammad,

I created a PPA for lunar and jammy that backports Sapphire Rapids support here: https://launchpad.net/~lvoytek/+archive/ubuntu/libvirt-sapphirerapids-uri

If you would like to test it you can run the following:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lvoytek/libvirt-sapphirerapids-uri
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade

Thanks!

Hi Ammad,

Thanks for testing and providing all the info, sorry the fix failed. I updated the ppa to include the noTSX model for Sapphire Rapids which should be picked up on your system if you would like to test again.

Thanks!
