[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3] ARM: add query-gic-capability SMP command

[Peter Xu]

This patch is to add ARM-specific command "query-gic-capability".

This command can report which kind of GIC device the host/QEMU
support. The returned result is in the form of array. One example
would be:

{"execute": "query-gic-capability"}
{"return": ["gicv2-kvm", "gicv2"]}

For more information on the interface, please refer to the RFC
thread:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg02882.html

As discussed in previous RFC threads, this may not the best way to
implement it. Instead, a more generic interface/framework might be
prefered. However this is still needed possibly before the new
interface ready. As a tradeoff, I/we decided to first provide the
command, then we'd better make sure we can have a smooth transition
if there would be a better solution.
