arm: qmp: add query-gic-capabilities interface This patch add "query-gic-capabilities" but does not implement it. The command is ARM-only. The command will return a list of GICCapability structs that describes all GIC versions that current QEMU and system support. Libvirt is possibly the first consumer of this new command. Before this patch, a libvirt user can successfully configure all kinds of GIC devices for ARM guests, no matter whether current QEMU/kernel supports them. If the specified GIC version/type is not supported, the user will get an ambiguous "QEMU boot failure" error when trying to start the VM. This is not user-friendly. With this patch, libvirt should be able to query which type (and which version) of GIC device is supported. Using this information, libvirt can warn the user during configuration of guests when specified GIC device type is not supported. Or better, we can just list those versions that we support, and filter out the unsupported ones. For example, if we got the query result: {"return": [{"emulated": false, "version": 3, "kernel": true}, {"emulated": true, "version": 2, "kernel": false}]} then it means that we support emulated GIC version 2 using: qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,accel=tcg,gic-version=2 ... or KVM-accelerated GIC version 3 using: qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt,accel=kvm,gic-version=3 ... If we specify other explicit GIC versions rather than the above, QEMU will not be able to boot. The community is working on a more generic way to query these kinds of information about valid values of machine properties. However, due to the importance of supporting this specific use case, weecided to first implement this ad-hoc one; then when the generic method is ready, we can move on to that one smoothly.
