> Is libvirt supports armv8 arch?
Libvirt is a high level library for interacting with VMs. Debian offers libvirt 
packages for all 13 supported processor architectures, (Armv8 is not yet 
supported, but Arm6 (with soft float) or Arm 7 (with hard float) are supported. 
Arm 7.

However, that probably does not answer your question, as I think you really 
want to know about KVM.

Experimental Arm support for KVM was added to the kernel in version 3.9, that 
was released recently. That should work on Cortex A7 and A15 cores that have 
virtualization support, but as it is new and experimental, you should do your 
own testing before relying on it.

As far as I know there are not yet any shipping products fitted with Arm8 
compatible processors (Cortex-A53 and A57). I am not even sure if any silicon 
has been fabbed yet, so I would say it is a bit early to ask about support for 
it, as so far any testing of Arm8 code will be in a cross-architecture VM.
