Hi, Thanks for the review. Regarding the -cpu flag: This doesn't feel right because SEOIB is an accelerator-specific (KVM) value. Tying it to the CPU suggests an architectural feature that wouldn't apply to TCG. What specifically feels off about keeping it as a KVM/Machine property? Regarding the backports: The KVM kernel side is currently in 6.18 and 6.19. I haven’t yet came around to manually backported it to the older stable releases yet. Thanks, Khushit.
