The QERR_ macros are leftovers from the days of "rich" error objects.
We've been trying to reduce their remaining use.
qmp_query_vm_generation_id() in stubs/vmgenid.c is the last user of
QERR_UNSUPPORTED outside qga/. Unlike the stubs we just dropped, it
is actually reachable, namely when CONFIG_ACPI_VMGENID is off. It
always fails like
(qemu) info vm-generation-id
Error: this feature or command is not currently supported
Turns out the real qmp_query_vm_generation_id() doesn't actually
depend on CONFIG_ACPI_VMGENID, and fails safely when it's off. Move
it to hw/core/machine-qmp-cmds.c, and drop the stub. The error
message becomes
Error: VM Generation ID device not found
Feels like an improvement to me.
