	macOS libvirt XML configuration.

	Run "virt-xml-validate macOS-libvirt-Catalina.xml" to validate this file.

	To install this file, you may place it at ~/.config/libvirt/qemu/
	and run: virsh define macOS-libvirt.xml.

	This configuration has been tested in Ubuntu 20.04 with stock QEMU-KVM.

	Move/rename images and loader/nvmram files and paths as you wish.

	!!! Don't forget to replace CHANGEME with your values !!!

	Adjust memory and currentMemory to 3145728 if you want only 3 GiB.

	Consider removing some cpu features if your hardware lacks support.

	Replace spice with vnc if you prefer it.

	Current network configuration is a local bridge (192.168.12x.x).
	Change it to if you prefer a public bridge instead:
		Change interface to <interface type='user'>
		and remove the <source bridge='virbr0'/>
		Or use virt-manager to edit this line instead of virsh edit.

	Note: Default configuration caused severe clock problems
	under Fedora 27 w/ i7-5820K. This is because Darwin uses
	tsc (time since last tick) for time, and for me did not
	fall back to rtc in the event of a clock mismatch with
	libvirt's default time source. Therefore we must explicitly
	give the clock a tsc timer for kvm to pass to the guest.
	See comments on the <kvm> and <clock> attributes.
