This field is the version of qemu that first contains the release.  If
your patch is on time to make the qemu 2.0 release, then 2.0 is
appropriate; but we're close to feature freeze so it may end up being 2.1.

But listing it as '*src' means it is optional.  If it is mandatory, list
it as 'src'.

The qapi type 'int' is 64-bit.  You can further range check the values
in your C code and fail the command if the user passed values that don't
fit in 32 bits when they requested a 32-bit mode.
