Hello.

I'm running Debian bookworm on my ARM Chromebook,model "xe303c12" and
I've recompiled the kernel (5.4) to enable KVM,so now my system sounds like
this :

$ lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release:        12
Codename:       bookworm

$ uname -a

$ uname -r

$ kvm-ok
INFO: /dev/kvm exists

$ qemu-system-arm --version
QEMU emulator version 5.1.0 (v5.1.0-dirty)

$ python3 --version
Python 3.11.2


I have installed libvirt 9.7.0,qemu 5.1 and virt-manager from source
code with the final goal to be able to connect qemu,kvm and libvirt
together to virtualize FreeBSD 13.2 for arm 32 bit.

Some useful informations about my platform :

# lsmod | grep kvm
no errors (I have embedded the options needed to enable KVM inside the kernel)


# virsh --connect qemu:///system capabilities | grep baselabel

<baselabel type='kvm'>+1002:+1002</baselabel>
<baselabel type='qemu'>+1002:+1002</baselabel>



The error that I'm not able to fix is the following one :


root at chromarietto:~#  virsh domcapabilities --machine virt
--emulatorbin /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-arm

2023-08-29 10:17:59.110+0000: 1763: error : virHostCPUGetKVMMaxVCPUs:1228 :

error: failed to get emulator capabilities
error: KVM is not supported on this platform: Function not implemented


and this is the log that I've got when I ran libvirtd with the debug
option enabled

Does anyone know how to fix that error ?
