[libvirt] [PATCH 0/4] Automatically choose usable GIC version

[Andrea Bolognani]

Currently, if no GIC version has been provided by the user,
libvirt will default to GIC v2. This is a problem when
trying to create new guests on hardware that only supports
GIC v3 guests: QEMU will refuse to start a GIC v2 guest, and
guest installation will abort immediately.

This series implements a way for libvirt to figure out a
suitable GIC version itself, without relying on tools such
as virt-install to parse the domain capabilities before
attempting installation.


Andrea Bolognani (4):
  qemu: Automatically choose usable GIC version
  qemu: Add virQEMUCapsSetGICCapabilities()
  tests: Prepare to have different usable GIC versions
  tests: Try different usable GIC versions
