Please elaborate on why.

The dependency on the DSDT is a few methods (PCEJ, CPEJ, CPST, CPMA).
Under what circumstances would it be difficult for these methods to be
provided?

That's possible.  However, how do you plan to provide a DSDT that
accounts for the dynamic nature of the virtual system configuration.
A different qemu/kvm command line (which configures pci or cpu count)
will then require a different DSDT.
