That patch was ACKed and committed, but reverted before the 9.5.0 release
since it could be problematic with older apparmor 2.x versions still
supported by libvirt.
Andrea suggested copies of the profiles for apparmor 2.x and 3.x. This
series takes that approach, with patch 1 making an identical copy of the
src/security/apparmor directory. Patches 2 and 3 then adjust the profiles
accordingly.
My approach to copying the existing directory does introduce some duplicate
files in the tree, but otherwise it's minimally disruptive and will be easy
to rip out when upstream libvirt no longer needs to support apparmor 2.x.
FYI, so far I've only tested with apparmor 3.x, but I did push the changes
to my fork with CI enabled

Thanks for comments/suggestions!
Jim Fehlig (3):
apparmor: Create version specific apparmor profiles
apparmor: Remove support for passt from apparmor 2.x
apparmor: Add support for local profile customizations
I'm not a fan of this approach. It introduces a lot of duplication
for what are ultimately just a dozen or so lines that need to be
different between the 2.x and 3.x profiles; most importantly, I'm
very concerned about the two copies accidentally drifting apart over
the ~2 years that separate us from the joyous day when we can finally
stop caring about 2.x.
Please have a look at my attempt:
