This doesn't seem sufficient. If this was only added in qemu 7.2, an
architecture check doesn't seem sufficient to decide whether to enable
this feature. For example, on Fedora 37 (qemu 7.0.0), if I configure a
domain to use this option, it doesn't give me a configuration error, but
(predictably) gives an error when trying to start the domain:
error: internal error: process exited while connecting to monitor:
2023-07-05T15:58:43.783724Z qemu-system-x86_64: -accel
kvm,notify-vmexit=disable: Property 'kvm-accel.notify-vmexit' not found
Ideally we would check that the specific qemu binary supports this
option. We generally use capabilities for this.
