Looking forward to contributing further! I think the availability of this new feature should be advertised in the domain capabilities XML. That way, management applications such as virt-manager will be able to detect its presence and decide to ditch PS/2 completely for headless VMs, where it's not necessary to have any input devices. For VMs with graphics, they could add a USB keyboard to go along with the USB tablet that is already added, instead of the current combo of PS/2 keyboard and mouse *plus* USB tablet, for a slightly cleaner overall configuration matching that of other architectures that are not beholden to the same legacy as x86.
