and the minimum version is 2.12.1 according to cb12c59dac04.
Feature introduced version in commit msg cb12c59dac04 of is not correct here. Check that in qemu code, for the commit be7773268d target-i386: add KVM_HINTS_DEDICATED performance hint # git tag --contains=be7773268d|sort -n |head -n2 s v2.12.0
So the minimum version is v2.12.0 not v2.12.1 Fix it at https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2019-December/msg00319.html
With the nits mentioned above addressed,
