It seems that command "qom-list-types" just give all architectures'
list, not related with architecture.
qemu-system-x86_64 also can get all information of other architectures.
I think it is not right way to getting capabilities by "qom-list-types".
Yeah, it's either bug in qemu or libvirt should use another way of
probing this stuff.
To fix this problem can be either way of the following:
1. Specify the architectures in Libvirt as my patch.
No way. This won't work if you want to start PPC domain on an x86 host
or x86 domain on a PPC host.
2. Specify the architectures in QEMU by modifying
"qom-list-types"
command.
Perhaps. We definitely need to find the right way of probing the data we
care about. And it's likely both libvirt and qemu will need to be
modified.
