It allows to move the core inside the topology tree to optimise
the cache usage in the case the host's hypervizor previously

s/hypervizor/hypervisor/

moved the CPU.

The same command allows to modifiy the CPU attributes modifiers

s/modifiy/modify/

like polarization entitlement and the dedicated attribute to notify
the guest if the host admin modified scheduling or dedication of a vCPU.

With this knowledge the guest has the possibility to optimize the
usage of the vCPUs.

Hmm, who is supposed to call this QMP command in the future? Will there be a new daemon monitoring the CPU changes in the host? Or will there be a libvirt addition for this? ... Seems like I still miss the big picture here...

Or if this is just about to provide an API for future experiments, I'd rather suggest to introduce the new commands with a "x-" prefix to mark them as experimental (so we would also not need to go through the deprecation process in case they don't work out as expected in the future).
