      These ^^ are supported.

      And these ^^ need to be implemented yet. What's the priority? I haven't found any libvirt RFE for these, should I create one?

      The priority should be 'normal' I believe, all these give moderate performance
      improvement for certain scenarios.

      'hv-avic' is supported since QEMU-6.2, hv-xmm-input and hv-emsr-bitmap are new
      (QEMU-7.1). 'hv-no-nonarch-coresharing' is old (QEMU-4.2) but it's very specific
      and hard to use properly.
