At this moment it is not possible to launch a 'riscv64' domain of type

error: Failed to start domain 'riscv-virt1'
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver:

I get a different error message, specifically

Ha, I believe the patch is still relevant but I did a serious mess in the commit
message :(
The difference between what we're seeing is that I used a QEMU from riscv-to-apply.next
from the maintainer tree [1] instead of master. That tree has the following patch:

target/riscv: add query-cpy-definitions support
With this QEMU, two things you're not seeing will start to happen:
- virQEMUCapsGetMachineDefaultCPU() will return the 'rv64' CPU, and
qemuDomainDefSetDefaultCPU() will add the <cpu> element during PostParse()
time;
- the error you're seeing from virQEMUCapsIsCPUModeSupported() won't happen
because this:
cpus = virQEMUCapsGetAccel(qemuCaps, type)->cpuModels;
return cpus && cpus->ncpus > 0;
won't return NULL anymore. You'll error out in the same point I am right now,
in virCPUUpdate(), because there's no driver->update() for the RISC-V driver.
I apologize for the confusion. I'll re-send the patch with a proper description:
we need the update() implementation to support the <cpu> definition. I'll also
make sure to test with QEMU master this time.
Thanks,
Daniel
[1] https://github.com/alistair23/qemu/tree/riscv-to-apply.next
A guest CPU definition will be added if absent by
qemuDomainSetDefaultCPU():
No such function exists, did you mean qemuDomainDefSetDefaultCPU()?
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='none'>
<model fallback='forbid'>rv64</model>
</cpu>
Note that I only started seeing the error message mentioned above
after I manually added this snippet to my domain XML.
If I don't do that, the <cpu> element doesn't show up at all and the
VM can be started just fine.

You should follow the naming convention already established for the
file.
I have not actually looked at the code yet. In theory the changes
sound fine, but the current situation as you describe it differs
enough from what I'm seeing here that I want to make sure we're on
the same page before spending any time on that. Are you working off
master? Do you have additional patches applied locally?
The full XML for the VM that I'm using for testing is below.
