Oh, I see now that I actually have passt.avx2 running, despite the
output of ps hiding this fact:

  $ ps aux | grep bin/passt
  qemu   173991   [...]   /usr/bin/passt [...]
  $ sudo ls -l /proc/173991/exe
  [...]   /proc/173991/exe -> /usr/bin/passt.avx2

So it looks like everything is indeed working as intended :)
