Some backend options or behavior are optional, and advertised through
--print-capabilities.
Say --foo (optional),
--print-capabilities should have something like:
{ ...
"features": [
"foo",
...
]
}
The list of capabilities is documented in vhost-user.json,
VHostUserBackendCapabilities.
We lack common enum such as @VHostUserBackendCommonFeature at this
point, but it can be added.
Although we don't currently parse this file through qapi, I don't know
how to express that
VHostUserBackendGPUFeature/VHostUserBackendCapabilitiesInput inherits
from another enum. Markus, any idea?
