[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 3/4] pc/q35: Disallow vfio-pci hotplug without VT-d caching mode

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

Instead of bailing out when trying to hotplug a vfio-pci device with
below configuration:

  -device intel-iommu,caching-mode=off

With this we can return a warning message to the user via QMP/HMP and
the VM will continue to work after failing the hotplug:

  (qemu) device_add vfio-pci,bus=root.3,host=05:00.0,id=vfio1
  Error: Device assignment is not allowed without enabling caching-mode=on for Intel IOMMU.
