Do we do that? IMO, if the command is not there, we just error out.
There are plenty of examples, for instance:
qemuMonitorJSONGetMemoryDeviceInfo(). If the command is not there, -2 is
returned. Not that the caller would care.
I mean, we might have caps for commands, but I guess that's for
different reason. For instance, we have QEMU_CAPS_WAKEUP. But this
capability exist so that we know upfront if the command is available and
don't learn that in the middle after we've suspended the domain and have
no way of waking it up. So that's slightly different use case, isn't it?
I view qemuCaps as helper for cmd line generation mostly.

I don't think so. If qemu is old enough that it lacks
watchdog-set-action we don't even get to the point of trying to hotplug
the watchdog. and if it is new enough that it as the command it supports
watchdog hotplug already.

Well, I can split it if you want me to, but:

a) in the end the code will look the same,
b) it doesn't make sense for somebody to backport just a part of it.
They'll backport either all of them or none. They might as well just
backport this one. Or not.
