The reason would be that you are running an older version.

No, the reason could also be that for some reason we added Haswell and
Broadwell, but forgot Ivy Bridge.  I'll send QEMU patches next week.

Can you be more specific? Which ivybridge instructions do you care about?

Ivy Bridge selection, I just wondering why.

Either your virt-manager or your libvirt or your QEMU are too old.
Kernel 3.17 supports up to Broadwell.

It has to be supported all the way up.  KVM provides emulation, QEMU
provides command-line parsing, libvirt provides XML parsing,
virt-manager probably can read the info from libvirt but I'm not 100% sure.
