Currently there isn’t a backend-agnostic interface for this. It was part of the import of HVF support to qemu from downstream.
Notably means that the emulate infrastructure isn’t usable by multiple backends in the same build. It might be possible to get away without that however as HVF is macOS specific, MSHV is Linux-specific and WHPX (which is currently using winhvemulator instead of this) is Windows-specific...
