So how about Print the list of CPU models known by libvirt for the specified architecture. Whether a specific hypervisor is able to create a domain which uses any of the printed CPU models is a separate question which can be answered by looking at the domain capabilities XML returned by B<domcapabilities> command. Moreover, for some architectures libvirt does not know any CPU models and the usable CPU models are only limited by the hypervisor. This command will print that all CPU models are accepted for these architectures and the actual list of supported CPU models can be checked in the domain capabilities XML.
