In this talk, I plan to present the low-level details and all the layers involved to make sure new CPU features are available for KVM guest OSes, starting from the hardware itself, the KVM kernel code, QEMU, libvirt, and management systems that let the user configure virtual machines. I plan to explain how this affects KVM features like live migration, command-line compatibility, and Stable Guest ABI.
