The kvm-type machine option was left out when MachineState was
introduced, preventing the kvm-type option from being used. Add the
missing property.

Tested in a x86 machine only. Help would be welcome to test it on a PPC
machine using -machine spapr and KVM.

Before this patch:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc,kvm-type=hv,accel=kvm
    qemu-system-x86_64: Property '.kvm-type' not found

(This means the option won't work even for sPAPR machines.)

After applying this patch:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc,kvm-type=hv,accel=kvm
    Invalid argument kvm-type=hv

(This means the x86 KVM init code is seeing (and rejecting) the option,
and the sPAPR code can use it.)

Note that qemu-system-x86_64 will segfault with the above command-line
unless an additional fix (submitted today) is applied (kvm: Ensure
negative return value on kvm_init() error handling path).

Can you add it only to the pseries machine instead?  This is one of the 
first reasons why I wanted to have per-machine properties.  :)

Thanks!

Yes, it makes sense (I didn't notice we already had explicit class
registration code for sPAPR). I might need some help to test it, though.

That part should be easy ;)

Very interesting how did I miss that.

Hi,

Here also, like in my other replies, I think it should be the caller
responsibility to free the string. A set method should not touch
its parameter.

Thanks,
Marcel

We are not freeing the parameter, we are freeing ms->kvm_type, which was
allocated previously by the setter method itself (using g_strdup()). The
caller doesn't even have access to ms->kvm_type directly.

The fact that ms->kvm_type is a strdup()ed string is an internal
implementation detail. We even have setter methods that do _not_ use
strdup(), and just copy the data to a static buffer (see
target-i386/cpu.c).
