This patch breaks execution on 4.4 (SLES12 SP2) for me:

$ ./aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -nographic -M 
virt,gic-version=host -enable-kvm -cpu host -kernel /boot/Image
qemu-system-aarch64: KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR failed: No such device or address
Group 6 attr 0x000000000000c664
Aborted (core dumped)

If I revert it, it works again. Is that device attr something only newer 
kernels received? In that case, it needs to be guarded by a capability 
check.
