Me too, especially as the whole stack is involved, and qemu is the
topmost part from our perspective (no doubt libvirt will want to

FYI, libvirt already exposes this kind of functionality. The API call
virConnectGetCapabilities() / command line "virsh capabilities" command
tells you about what the virtualization host is able to support. It can
tell you what architectures are supported, by which binaries. What
machine types are available. Whether KVM or KQEMU acceleration are
present. What CPU model / flags are on the host. What NUMA topology is
available. etc etc


Great. Note that for a cpu flag to be usable in a guest, it needs to be supported by both kvm.ko and qemu, so reporting /proc/cpuinfo is insufficient. There are also synthetic cpu flags (kvm paravirt features, x2apic) that aren't present in /proc/cpuinfo.
