Sounds about right.

I can work on points 1) and 3) of your list on my own, but for point 2)
we need QEMU to start probing the host for supported GIC versions and
expose such information before libvirt can use it. Then of course higher
level tools such as OpenStack will need to become aware of these new
features in libvirt.
