[Qemu-arm] [PATCH v6 1/4] arm: qmp: add query-gic-capabilities interface

[Peter Xu]

This patch add "query-gic-capabilities" but does not implemnet it. The
command is ARM-only. The command will return one GICCapabilityResult
object, which contains a array of GICCapability struct that describes
all GIC versions that current QEMU and system support.

Libvirt is possibly the first consumer of this new command.

Before this patch, user will successfully configure all kinds of GIC
devices for ARM guests, no matter whether current QEMU/kernel support
it. If the specified GIC version/type is not supported, user will got an
ambiguous "QEMU boot failure" 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 that we support. Use 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 those not-supported ones.

Besides, the community is working on a more generic way to query these
kind of information. However, due to the eagerness of this command, we
decided to first implement this ad-hoc one, then when the generic method
is ready, we can move on to that one smoothly.
