qemu: avoid launching non-x86 guests with APIC-EOI setting
The "<apic/>" feature, although it's available only for x86 guests, can be declared in the domain XML of other archs without errors. But setting its 'eoi' attribute will break QEMU. For "<apic eoi='on'/>", in a ppc64 guest: qemu-kvm: Expected key=value format, found +kvm_pv_eoi A similar error happens with eoi='off'. One can argue that it's better to simply forbid launching non-x86 guests with "<apic/>" declared in the XML - it is a feature that the architecture doesn't support and this would make it clearer about it. This is sensible, but there are non-x86 guests that are running with "<apic/>" declared in the domain (and A LOT of guests running with "<acpi/>" for that matter, probably reminiscent of x86 templates that were reused for other archs) that will stop working if we go this route. A more subtle approach is to detect if the 'eoi' element is being set for non-x86 guests and warn the user about it with a better error message than the one QEMU provides. This is the new error message when any value is set for the 'eoi' element in a ppc64 XML: error: unsupported configuration: The 'eoi' attribute of the 'apic' feature is not supported for architecture 'ppc64' or machine type 'pseries'. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1236440Signed-off-by: NDaniel Henrique Barboza <danielhb413@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: NAndrea Bolognani <abologna@redhat.com>
