Me too, especially as the whole stack is involved, and qemu is the

FYI, libvirt already exposes this kind of functionality. The API call
virConnectGetCapabilities() / command line "virsh capabilities" command
tells you about what the virtualization host is able to support. It can
tell you what architectures are supported, by which binaries. What
machine types are available. Whether KVM or KQEMU acceleration are
present. What CPU model / flags are on the host. What NUMA topology is
available. etc etc
Great. Note that for a cpu flag to be usable in a guest, it needs to be
supported by both kvm.ko and qemu, so reporting /proc/cpuinfo is
insufficient. There are also synthetic cpu flags (kvm paravirt
features, x2apic) that aren't present in /proc/cpuinfo.
