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!
