Description Andrea Bolognani 2017-03-06 13:57:01 UTC
libvirt (wrongly) assumes that only x86 supports ACPI, but
aarch64 does too.

Fix libvirt so that ACPI becomes usable on aarch64.

    qemu: Advertise ACPI support for aarch64 guests
    
    So far, libvirt has assumed that only x86 supports ACPI,
    but that's inaccurate since aarch64 supports it too.
