[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4] spapr: quantify error messages regarding capability settings

[Daniel Black]

Its not immediately obvious how cap-X=Y setting need to be applied
to the command line so, for spapr capability error messages, this
has been clarified to:

 appending -machine cap-X=Y

The wrong value messages have been left as is, as the user has found
the right location.

v4 Message inline rather than macro. greppability nitpick accepted with
grace and the magic of %s/CAPABILITY_HINT("\([^"]*\)")/" try appending -machine 
\1"/g.
v3 Hint, and not all messages, (can't use error_append_hint on
error_fatal) from Greg Kurz
v2 Improved error message thanks David Gibson

Left the "appending" as its not obvious more that one -machine
arguement is allowed.
