libvirt qemu override


I followed the Arch linux guide for Intel GVT-g and I was able to run Fedora as a guest using the virtual GPU. I cannot however use libvirt qemu override in my xml. I have tried virsh edit and the xml editor in virt-manager but the configuration fails to be validated and it's deleted. This is what I want to add
Code:
qemu:override>
    <qemu:device alias="hostdev0">
      <qemu:frontend>
        <qemu:property name="x-igd-opregion" type="bool" value="true"/>
        <qemu:property name="romfile" type="string" value="/vbios_gvt_uefi.rom"/>
        <qemu:property name="driver" type="string" value="vfio-pci-nohotplug"/>
      </qemu:frontend>
    </qemu:device>
  </qemu:override>

If I use <qemu:commandline> it works.

Code:
<qemu:commandline>
    <qemu:arg value="-set"/>
    <qemu:arg value="device.hostdev0.romfile=/vbios_gvt_uefi.rom"/>
    <qemu:arg value="-set"/>
    <qemu:arg value="device.hostdev0.driver=vfio-pci-nohotplug"/>
    <qemu:arg value="-set"/>
    <qemu:arg value="device.hostdev0.x-igd-opregion=on"/>
  </qemu:commandline>
Is it a bug? I am using libvirt 8.0 on linux Mint 21. Do you know a place where I can post libvirt specific questions?

I have found out that qemu override is available only from version 8.2. Problem solved.
