I am changing things with the addition of KM support for dual mode but
that might not be the right approach. Let's talk over it when you reach
the end of the QEMU patchset.
I will keep in mind that we should know exactly what KVM supports
before the machine starts. That is : not to abort QEMU if we can not
satisfy the interrupt mode chosen at CAS time. It might be possible
to fallback to XIVE emulated mode, I think that is where the problem
is but I haven't looked at it closely.
