Sure.

Yes, I found it odd; however, from your summary comment "This one is
fine on its own, but will need a preceeding patch to abstract virCaps
even more."

How much abstraction do you really^^infinity want? Usage of ->caps.host
is more prevalent than I think it's worth to try and abstract it away
such that it would only be formatted if virCapsHostPtr != NULL. There's
a lot of code that wants to poke around and perhaps know more about
caps.host than should... Certainly more than I'd prefer altering.

Or could it be "simple enough" as modifying virCapabilitiesFormatHostXML
to return early:

    /* Without the presence of some data means we have nothing
     * minimally to format, so just return. */
    if (!virUUIDIsValid(host->host_uuid) &&
        !host->arch && !host->powerMgmt && !host->iommu)
        return 0;

Initially I tried !host->cpu, but that tripped up all the
tests/qemucaps2xmloutdata/caps_*.xml files.

That also means the above call would pass VIR_ARCH_NONE.

I can add a comment here has well...
