This patchset extends libvirt for AArch64 (armv8a).
All patches have been tested on APM X-Gene SoC and we are able to run libvirtd on APM X-Gene SOC and spawn VMs remotely using virsh and virt-manager.
What is the state of QEMU support for AArch64 ? I see various patches in GIT related to AArch64, but no aarch64-softmmu emulator binary appears to be created.

I think the current aarch64 support in qemu is for running on an aarch64 machine.
But there's patches posted for everything else: build qemu-system-aarch64, aarch64 emulation, and aarch64 kvm. The qemu-system-aarch64 bit may land before everything else actually, but it won't be much different from qemu-system-arm.
Yes, aarch64 kvm has been tested with qemu-system-aarch64. Initial patches for QEMU aarch64 were aimed at supporting only KVM but recently quite a few patches have been posted for TCG aarch64 emulation. Largely, the approach in QEMU is to have qemu-system-aarch64 share most of the code with qemu-system-arm. In fact, for qemu-system-aarch64 TCG emulation and aarch64 kvm code is located in target-arm directory which is originally meant for qemu-system-arm. --Anup
