I think the availability of this new feature should be advertised in
the domain capabilities XML.

That way, management applications such as virt-manager will be able
to detect its presence and decide to ditch PS/2 completely for
headless VMs, where it's not necessary to have any input devices.

For VMs with graphics, they could add a USB keyboard to go along with
the USB tablet that is already added, instead of the current combo of
PS/2 keyboard and mouse *plus* USB tablet, for a slightly cleaner
overall configuration matching that of other architectures that are
not beholden to the same legacy as x86.
