Most of the changes indeed happened in the test suite, but some tweaks to the aarch64 CPU driver were necessary as well, specifically: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/82ffb81c9cafbcdf7b1f56f964488... https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/03af15c0242fdb485fc639f24b9ac... https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/f834c341fbec94ead3671931c58db... As for whether this should be considered a bug fix, of course the line between the various release notes sections is not entirely well defined and there's always some overlap / leeway... I would consider this a bug fix if we had Apple Silicon support in the past and broke it, but since the hardware literally didn't exist until a few months ago, I think it qualifies as a new feature - it just so happens to be one where we could piggy-back on existing features almost completely ;)
