I will close it as soon as this is pushed :)

Most of the changes indeed happened in the test suite, but some
tweaks to the aarch64 CPU driver were necessary as well,
specifically:

  https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/82ffb81c9cafbcdf7b1f56f9644883fe8398faa5
  https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/03af15c0242fdb485fc639f24b9acef9ac21599d
  https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/commit/f834c341fbec94ead3671931c58db9c0488b76db

As for whether this should be considered a bug fix, of course the
line between the various release notes sections is not entirely well
defined and there's always some overlap / leeway...

I would consider this a bug fix if we had Apple Silicon support in
the past and broke it, but since the hardware literally didn't exist
until a few months ago, I think it qualifies as a new feature - it
just so happens to be one where we could piggy-back on existing
features almost completely ;)
