+          Up until this point, ACPI support was only advertised for x86_64

+          The recently introduced qemu-xhci USB controller is the best choice
+          for both ppc64 and aarch64 guests, so use it by default on those
+          architectures if available.

+        <description>
+          The default number of tasks for the pids cgroup controller is 512,
+          which libvirtd can quickly bump into when starting lots of guests.
+          Raise the limit to a more reasonable 32768.

+        <description>
+          Previously, the libvirt_guest NSS module would only work properly
+          after the corresponding network had been restarted; now newly
+          started guests will be reported correctly right away.

+          Solve an issue where transient storage pools would be stuck in an
+          unmanageable state if the source disappeared and libvirtd was
+          subsequently restarted.

+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          The 'capacity' value (e.g. guest logical size) for a LUKS volume is
+          smaller than the 'physical' value of the file in the file system, so
+          we need to account for that.
