So what are the plans regarding the managed mode here?

I don't necessarily need you to commit to anything but if libvirt is
ever expected to support the managed mode we should at least have a
strategy how to integrate that and document that only non-managed mode
is supported.

E.g. prepare for

  <rapl state ='on' mode='unmanaged' socket='/run/qemu-vmsr-helper.sock'/>

Or at least imply in the documentation that if socket is provided we
expect an manually managed daemon to listen there.

The libvirt version here will need updating.

Since this works only on intel:

 $ qemu-system-x86_64 --accel kvm,rapl=true
qemu-system-x86_64: --accel kvm,rapl=true: The RAPL feature can only be enabled on hosts with Intel CPU models
qemu-system-x86_64: --accel kvm,rapl=true: kvm : error RAPL feature requirement not met

you should document that. I don't think we need a specific CPU check for
this niche feature.

Qemu will fail without a socket.

  $ qemu-system-x86_64 --accel kvm,rapl=true
  qemu-system-x86_64: --accel kvm,rapl=true: vmsr socket opening failed

If you make the socket mandatory the presence of the socket could later
be used to mean un-managed mode.

As noted above; qemu makes the socket mandatory so the check doesn't
make much sense.

Also we'll most likely need to use virQEMUBuildBufferEscapeComma here to
properly format paths with a comma since they are user-provided.

The code doesn't also do any security labelling of the socket. That
means that the socket needs to be properly labelled manually. I think
that should be documetned as well, so that there's no expectation of
libvirt to do this.
