Did you actually try connecting to a remote libvirtd instance
from the RISC-V machine?
No, the qemu emulation has no networking (real hardware will of course
have networking).
Does the test suite pass?
I didn't try it. It's not massively important that libvirt actually
works until the hypervisor specification is sorted out, and real
hardware is widely available. Mainly the team want libvirt in order
just to satify deps required to build other packages.
