Which version of qemu was this introduced in?
Looks like just before 2.12, although the patch seems to have been
backported to 2.11 (see RHBZ#1614948). I'll add a version test here
in v2, as well as the libvirt version test required below.

This generates an XML snippet like:
<features>
<pseries>
<htm state="on"/>
</pseries>
</features>
I see two problems:
- there is no <pseries> subelement, <htm> is directly under <features>
- shouldn't it be off, just like done in the direct backend?
Ah yes, it looks like this was the XML that was originally planned
(see
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-January/msg00784.html)
but not what finally went upstream.
Really need a P9 so we can test this!
Rich.
