Missing space to separate libvirt version and '('. But then I am
wondering how useful this is. We usually don't document hypervisor
version, because especially QEMU is notoriously known to have active
downstream developers who backport even features (that's the whole
reason we have QEMU capabilities and try to avoid version checks as much
as possible).

Looking from another angle, the worst thing that will happen is: QEMU
refuses to start because of unknown NIC model. Well if that doesn't
suggest to the user to upgrade then I don't think our docs would.
