+          qemu: Use CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE during QEMU capabilities probing
+        </summary>
+        <description>
+          By default, libvirt runs the QEMU process as qemu:qemu which could
+          cause issues during probing as some features (like AMD SEV) might be
+          inaccesible to QEMU because of file system permissions. Therefore,
+          CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE is granted to overcome these for the purposes of
+          probing.
