[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/3] ARM: add query-gic-capability SMP command

[Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>]

This is a re-work of v1 patch:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-02/msg05270.html

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

The new command can report which kind of GIC device the host/QEMU
support. The returned result is in the form of array.

Changes from v1:

- result layout change: use array and dict for the capability bits
  rather than a single array of strings [Andrea/Markus]
- spelling out what GIC is in doc [Eric]

Sample command and output:

{"execute": "query-gic-capability"}
{"return": [{"emulated": false, "version": 3, "kernel": false},
            {"emulated": true, "version": 2, "kernel": true}]}

Testing:

Smoke tests on both x86 (emulated) and another moonshot ARM server.

Please review!
