Hi there! We're about to put in production a 2nd region of our public cloud, which is OpenStack based, and using libvirt / kvm. The hardware we have is rather recent: each compute is equiped with 2x EPYC 112 core CPU. That is the EPYC-Genoa CPU model in Qemu. Therefore, we've installed the latest qemu from bookworm-backports. However, libvirt is still too old, and doesn't know about this CPU. Therefore, nova thinks it's model is EPYC-Milan, and not EPYC-Genoa. I've done a backport myself of python-libvirt and libvirt, and it's painless to do: just a simple rebuild without changing the package. Therefore, I'd like to ask: does the libvirt team (guido?) would like to upload a backported version of libvirt and python-libvirt to Bookworm? If yes, that'd be great. If no, would you mind if I do the upload? Will you help maintaining it? Note that it's working perfectly well for me: I was able to spawn VMs, and live-migrate them between compute hosts running the latest OpenStack Caracal version. Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
