This is a known issue which should be already fixed if you use the upcoming qemu version.
Historically ACPI was controled via '-no-acpi' which is issued when you don't use the '<acpi/>' feature element in the definition. Also historically it was only used on x86. With development of the 'virt' machine type for arm which does use acpi this was un-carefully extended to aarch64 as well where it didn't work with non-virt machines.
Now with the latest qemu which reports which machine type actually support ACPI we avoid use of '-no-acpi' for those which don't support it.
Unfortunately the workaround of adding <acpi/> element to definition for a machine which doesn't have it doesn't work either, because a further validation check forces you to configure uefi if you want acpi.
And even if you try to pile another workaround on top of that one by configuring the VM to use EFI, the end result is just a QEMU error: Property 'integratorcp-machine.pflash0' not found Further proof that was never possible to build a useful working integratorcp-based VM with libvirt. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
