Maybe this thread could help you. I'm on 6.10 and can't get it to work. It seems like libvirt or qemu has a bug (that has been fixed in a newer version) that makes it impossible to work.

I'm on Unraid 6.11.5 and things have changed since @ghost82 posted his config back in November 2021. It seems like qemu-system-aarch64 is the new default. It includes raspi3b as an available machine. I was wondering if anybody got it to work with this new emulator. I'm getting an error about the property raspi3b-machine.acpi missing when trying to start the VM. I've also tried with versatile-pb, but I'm getting a similar error. After looking at some StackOverflow question, it looks like libvirt has a bug (reference), but I'm not sure if this is the cause of the error I'm getting. I'm not sure if the bugfix on that closed issue arrived on my machine. I've arrived to my current configuration by starting with the first one on this thread and reading this article. I've obtained the kernel and the dtb file from Raspberry Pi firmware repo.
