IIUC, it only supports ACPI if using the AAVMF firmware, right ?

I know that is the preferred firmware for aarch64, but IIUC it is
not a hard requirement by QEMU. So even if we advertize it in the
capabilities, we might need to still validate during CLI building
that we're actually using AAVMF firmware.

Daniel
