[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3] hw/arm/virt: Add a user option to disallow ITS instantiation

[Eric Auger]

In 2.9 ITS will block save/restore and migration use cases. As such,
let's introduce a user option that allows to turn its instantiation
off, along with GICv3. With the "its" option turned false, migration
will be possible, obviously at the expense of MSI support (with GICv3).

v2 -> v3:
- replace no-its by its. Don't check both state and class field
  as suggested by Peter.

v1 -> v2:
- fix omitted comma in object_property_set_description

With this patch the option also is added in virt 2.8. I don't know
if it is acceptable.
