[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH 0/5] expose negotiated virtio features in r/o properties

[Roman Kagan]

This series is an attempt to make virtio features acknowledged by the
guest visible as read-only QOM properties.  One potential usecase of
this is debugging; another is when the upper layer needs to do something
only when/if the guest has acknowledged the support for a feature (e.g.
hot-plug a VFIO device once the guest claims VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY
support).

Being an RFC, it's incomplete and fails checkpatch, but I'd be intersted
to know if the approach is sane and worthwhile before I invest more time
in it.

Roman Kagan (5):
  qom: preserve get/set presence in aliased properties
  qmp: further consolidate listing of device and object properties
  qdev-properties: add r/o 64bit bitfield property
  virtio: drop DEFINE_VIRTIO_COMMON_FEATURES
  virtio: expose negotiated features in r/o properties
