It is hard to give a general answer to that without understanding the context of the system call in question. Libvirt can certainly make arbitrary system calls as it needs. If the system call is discovering information that has an impact on QEMU functionality though, it may be better to query it via QEMU. If you can provide more detail & usage context we can give a more useful answer.
