This is probably good for guests that happy with both. Guests that need/want a specific choice will put their integer there, and then we need a way to do a capabilities check before launching that guest on an arbitrary host.
OK, so how do we typically do that? I notice I have a 'kvm-ok' script on my machine which helpfully reports things like whether KVM is enabled, and it seems like it might be helpful to extend that to know a bit more about ARM hosts. But I'm guessing libvirt doesn't use that for its capability checking ?
I defer to our libvirt experts. I'm suspicious that we'll need libvirt changes though, as my experience with libvirt capabilities has always been for cpu features, not machine model features, and thus I'm not sure there's support for the later yet. Thanks, drew
