  1. qemu: set the cpu type to max 

    RHEL9 and therefore the dependent distributions and base containers have
a minimum microarchitechture level of x86-64-v2.[1]

The default cpu level of the qemu driver on an Intel Mac is x86-64-v1
even if the host cpu has the x86-64-v2 capability. Using the cpu type of
max allows qemu to use all the host cpu capabilities that is also
supported by the hypervisor framework.[2]

This was fixed for linux host by changing the default within qemu but it
wasn't changed for MacOS.
