If I understand the change correctly:
After the patch QEMU v10.0.0 will stop to boot Linux via ACPI.
QEMU v10.1.0 will be supported as it indicates revision 6.6.
See function build_fadt_rev6() in qemu/hw/riscv/virt-acpi-build.c.
For Ubuntu this is not an issue as it is on QEMU 10.1 on recent releases
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu).
Fedora 43 also has QEMU 10.1
(https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/qemu/qemu/).
Suse Tumbleweed has 10.2.1 (https://software.opensuse.org/package/qemu).
Stable Debian Trixie using 10.0 will be impacted
(https://packages.debian.org/trixie/qemu-system-misc). Debian Testing
has 10.2.
