[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 for-2.9 05/47] qapi: Have each QAPI schema declare its returns white-list

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

qapi.py has a hardcoded white-list of command names that may violate
the rules on permitted return types.  Add a new pragma directive
'returns-whitelist', and use it to replace the hard-coded white-list.
