I think knowing the architecture (such as x86 vs. pseries ppc) is

ARM boards have USB and some do not, some have PCI and some
do not, and so on.
There's probably still room for
improvement for communication between libvirt and qemu on what exactly
is being supported, and knowing an architecture type may be too broad of
a knob compared to what is really wanted, except that I don't have a
good handle on what is really wanted.
It does sound like we could use a more specific enquiry mechanism.
