* **New features**
+ * qemu: Core Scheduling support
+
+ To avoid side channel attacks, the Linux kernel allows creating groups of
+ processes that trust each other and thus can be scheduled to run on
+ hyperthreads of a CPU core at the same time. This is now implemented for
+ QEMU domains too (see ``sched_core`` knob in qemu.conf), although not
+ enabled by default, just yet.

* **Improvements**
* Add ``vendor`` attribute for CPU models in domain capabilities
