The problem with this is if I'm using TCG fallback mode, how
can I specify the right gic-version? ie:
-M virt,gic-version=host,accel=kvm:tcg
Only qemu knows if KVM is going to be enabled.
The same problem happens with '-cpu host' BTW. I really want a "make
it work" option, as I've said on several previous occasions on this
list eg:
