At this moment it is not possible to launch a 'riscv64' domain if a CPU
definition is presented in the domain. For example, adding this CPU
definition:
<cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='none'>
<model fallback='forbid'>rv64</model>
</cpu>
Will trigger the following error:
$ sudo ./run tools/virsh start riscv-virt1
error: Failed to start domain 'riscv-virt1'
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver:
cannot update guest CPU for riscv64 architecture
The error comes from virCPUUpdate(), via qemuProcessUpdateGuestCPU(),
and it's caused by the absence of the 'update' API in the existing
RISC-V driver.
Add an 'update' API impl to the RISC-V driver to allow for CPU
definitions to be declared in RISC-V domains. This API was copied from
the ARM driver (virCPUarmUpdate()) since it's a good enough
implementation to get us going.

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.
