They are all based in upstream changes but, for obvious reasons, backporting and/or cherry-picking those could bring issues. Biggest concern is breaking something that currently works. Right now, the parts being changed that could affect other CPU types would be related to a small refactoring of how the features are organized, and that would be seen right away when trying to start a new VM after the package is installed. * Other tests, related to the features being backported, are being done by our KVM regression tests, including migration combinations, to reduce chances that a regression is introduced.
