MSR_SMI_COUNT started being migrated in QEMU 2.12 and in the 2.12
release this broke back migration to earlier versions;  however
that didn't cause a problem on RHEL because it also relied on newer
kernel features that RHEL 7.* doesn't have.

QEMU 3.0 got a fix (in PC_COMPAT_2_11) to fix the 2.12->earlier
breakage, but given the kernel dependency, it makes more sense
for us to tie it to 8.* machine types and keep the feature off for
all 7.* machine types.
