Information about what architectures support what virtualization features is encoded in the qemu spec file.
As an example, only a subset of architectures support qemu at all. A different subset support KVM hardware acceleration. To find out which you'd better be an expert at decoding RPM macros: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qemu/blob/master/f/qemu.spec libvirt.spec duplicates this information (arches_qemu_kvm): https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libvirt/blob/master/f/libvirt.spec libguestfs.spec will need to duplicate this too because we will need to ExcludeArch riscv64 until libvirt-daemon-kvm support is added. At least cockpit, gnome-boxes also need libvirt-daemon-kvm, so I guess they will need the same information. For OCaml we successfully tackled a similar problem by adding a new standalone package called ocaml-srpm-macros which defines what architectures support what features: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-srpm-macros/blob/master/f/macros.ocaml-srpm Note in this case it is a new top level, standalone package that redhat-rpm-config depends on. A simpler way to do this would be to have qemu itself provide the /etc/rpm/macros.d/macros.qemu file. What do you think?
