When calling virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() (exposed as virsh
domcapabilities) users have option to specify whatever sub-set of
{ emulatorbin, arch, machine, virttype } they want. Then we have
a logic (hidden in virQEMUCapsCacheLookupDefault()) that picks
qemuCaps that satisfy values passed by user. And whatever was not
specified is then set to the default value as specified by picked
qemuCaps. For instance: if no machine type was provided but
emulatorbin was, then the machine type is set to the default one
as defined by the emulatorbin.
Or, when just virttype was set then the remaining three values
are set to their respective defaults. Except, we have a crasher
in this case:
# virsh domcapabilities --virttype hvf
error: Disconnected from qemu:///system due to end of file
error: failed to get emulator capabilities
error: End of file while reading data: Input/output error
This is because for 'hvf' virttype (at least my) QEMU does not
have any machine type. Therefore, @machine is set to NULL and the
rest of the code does not expect that.
What we can do about this is to validate all arguments. Well,
except for the emulatorbin which is obtained from passed
qemuCaps. This also fixes the issue when domcapabilities for a
virttype of a different driver are requested, or a different
arch.

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.
