Westmere is pretty old but significantly is the first generation to support virtual machines with little overhead. If clear Linux allowed something newer then it would rule itself out for a lot of existing machines (such as the 20+ I have running HPC jobs with surprising reliability)

Yeah, it's a reasonable tradeoff - be compatible with 1st Gen (basically all post-2010 modern x86_64 Intel processors), but try fine-tuning it a little bit for Haswell.
