Subject: [PATCH 3/4] python/qemu: accel: Strengthen kvm_available() checks
Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2019 13:08:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191115180829.10275-4-wainersm@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191115180829.10275-1-wainersm@redhat.com>
Currently kvm_available() checks for the presence of kvm module
and, if target and host arches don't mismatch. This patch adds
an 3rd checking: if QEMU binary was compiled with kvm
support.
