This was discussed in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-May/msg01370.html The capabilities code only sets the flag to allow use of vhost-net if kvm is detected (set if the help string contains "(qemu-kvm-" or "(kvm-"), but actually vhost-net is available in some qemu builds that don't have kvm in their name, so just checking for ",vhost=" is enough.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
