Some additional comments on what these mean:
+int virCapabilitiesGetHostSupportsHVM (virCapabilitiesPtr caps);
Would return true if the host supports HVM ...
+int virCapabilitiesGetHostHVMDisabledByBIOS (virCapabilitiesPtr caps);
... but this would return true if the HVM isn't available to Xen, indicating that it's disabled in the BIOS. Virt-manager could use this to present some sort of message about how to enable in the BIOS.
+int virGuestArchitecturesGetCount (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs); +char *virGuestArchitecturesGetName (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs, int n); +int virGuestArchitecturesGetIsHVM (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs, int n);
If this architecture supports full virt.
+int virGuestArchitecturesGetIsAccelerated (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs, int n);
If this architecture is accelerated (eg. all Xen architectures, and qemu architectures using kqemu).
+int virGuestArchitecturesGetIsEmulated (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs, int n);
eg. qemu emulating a completely different architecture.
+int virGuestArchitecturesGetIsBigEndian (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs, int n);
Xen on IA64 allows guests to be big endian. It's not clear if the IA64 HV is always little endian though.
+int virGuestArchitecturesGetBits (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs, int n);
Returns 32 or 64.
+int virGuestArchitecturesGetIsPAE (virGuestArchitecturesPtr archs, int n);
Xen on x86 allows guests to be PAE or non-PAE.
