[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 10/10] vl: list user creatable propeties if '?' as argument

[Marc-André Lureau]

Iterate over the writable class properties, sort and print them out
with the description if available.

Ex: qemu -object memory-backend-memfd,?
memory-backend-memfd.dump=bool (Set to 'off' to exclude from core dump)
memory-backend-memfd.host-nodes=int (Binds memory to the list of NUMA host 
nodes)
memory-backend-memfd.hugetlb=bool (Use huge pages)
memory-backend-memfd.hugetlbsize=int (Huge pages size (ex: 2M, 1G))
memory-backend-memfd.merge=bool (Mark memory as mergeable)
memory-backend-memfd.policy=HostMemPolicy (Set the NUMA policy)
memory-backend-memfd.prealloc=bool (Preallocate memory)
memory-backend-memfd.seal=bool (Seal growing & shrinking)
memory-backend-memfd.share=bool (Mark the memory as private to QEMU or shared)
memory-backend-memfd.size=int (Size of the memory region (ex: 500M))
