I've been thinking about this one for a while. It's considered expected
behavior, but I realize it sucks for discoverability. I doubt we want to
do platform-specific QAPI schema definitions, so the only option I can
think of is some kind of [de-]registration mechanism where we can mark
commands as being not available for a particular build/platform in the
cases where we stub out command implementations.
I think we can expose this to existing clients by no longer listing commands
marked as unsupported in the list provided by the guest-info command. It
should "just work". Can probably do it for 1.3. For now, clients will
have to catch it in the error-handling path.
