I think there's two sub questions:
  a) The virt-2.9 needs to pick up HW_COMPAT_2_9 if anything
  in it is relevant for ARM

  b) If anything is relevant in it for ARM then you probably
  want a virt-2.10 so that you can take advantage of whatever
  was changed that needed compatibility adding in HW_COMPAT_2_9

(The other thing is figuring out what we missed in HW_COMPAT_2_9,
we normally miss something).
