Thanks a lot for your response about virtinst library. The information
we need (hvm or not) is in the /sys/hypervisor/properties/capabilites file.
As you say "If we start adding hardware info to libvirt, where do we
draw the line ?". We are agree with this question. It wasn't a good idea
to introduce in libvirt some APIs related to the hardware. So you can
drop the request.

In summary, I'm not at all sure where this info should live, so for now
I'm avoiding the issue by having a helper library which has these functions
