Subject: [PATCH] launch: direct: Don't use -cpu host on TCG.

qemu -cpu \? documents this as:

host  KVM processor with all supported host features (only available in KVM mode)

And indeed if you try it with TCG you'll get this error:

Unable to find CPU definition: host

This fixes commit 038ed0a08eaed33e62a27c9f91780a25de0bc08c.

(cherry picked from commit c53b459fdd7fc340f48a76496b7e7e18256a2d64)
