Hyper-V enlightenment features can have hyphenated names which libvirt exposes under Hyper-V features with underscored names. When libvirt checks that all requested features were enabled by QEMU (on x86 architectures) it first queries for all those that QEMU knows and compiles them in a map while using the virQEMUCapsCPUFeaturesX86 for translations. Some features (well, all Hyper-V features with underscores) were not present in the translation table and were incorrectly reported as not enabled, consequently failing the start of any such domain. Add all hyphenated/underscored Hyper-V feature names into the aforementioned translation table. That way domains with these features enabled can be started when QEMU and the kernel support them.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
