[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/3] object: Add 'help' option for all available backends and properties

[Lin Ma <lma@suse.com>]

Print available object backend types and the relevant properties.

V2->v3:
* make type user-creatable abstract.
* auto generate enum value strings during qemu configuration.(Borrowwed Daniel's code)
* save the generated enum value strings into member description of ObjectProperty.
* drop the judgement logic of whether a property has an enumeration type anymore,
  output member description of ObjectProperty directly.
* at least, user_creatable_help_func should be put after
  'object_property_add_child(object_get_root(), "machine",OBJECT(current_machine), ...)',
  because host_memory_backend_init needs to access an instance of type machine.

V1->V2:
* Output the acceptable values of enum types by "-object TYPE-NAME,help"
