With the 6.17.9 kernel, the 'rdseed' feature is not available for some
Zen 5 host CPUs anymore unless the firmware is new enough. QEMU will
complain about the missing feature bit upon VM start. Add some context
to the QEMU error message if the host is Zen 5 (or 6, same CPU family
number, but the warning message already states 'Zen 5' explicitly and
probably the feature bit won't be missing in the first place).
