I've looked at both variants, and like this one better (if only because
of upgrade scenarios, since we save qemu capability flags in an older
libvirtd and then re-read those flags when restarting a newer libvirtd,
and expect the flags to have the same meaning no matter whether the
older or newer libvirtd was the original source for those flags).

Reads awkwardly.  Maybe:

The QEMU_CAPS_KVM flag was initially set according to...

ACK with typos fixed; per my comments in 1/2, I'd squash this into that
patch and push it all as one commit.
