[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 1/3] machine: show if CLI option '-numa node, mem' is supported in QAPI schema

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

Legacy '-numa node,mem' option has a number of issues and mgmt often
defaults to it. Unfortunately it's no possible to replace it with
an alternative '-numa memdev' without breaking migration compatibility.
What's possible though is to deprecate it, keeping option working with
old machine types only.

In order to help users to find out if being deprecated CLI option
'-numa node,mem' is still supported by particular machine type, add new
"numa-mem-supported" property to output of query-machines.

"numa-mem-supported" is set to 'true' for machines that currently support
NUMA, but it will be flipped to 'false' later on, once deprecation period
expires and kept 'true' only for old machine types that used to support
the legacy option so it won't break existing configuration that are using
it.

        * s/by machine type/by the machine type/
        * ammend commit message
           s/to MachineInfo description in QAPI schema/to output of query-machines/
  v4:
      * drop idea to use "qom-list-properties" and use MachineInfo instead
        which could be inspected with 'query-machines'
