There's no generic way to query current accel and its properties via QOM because there's no link between an accel and current machine.
The change adds the link, i.e. if HVF is enabled the following will be available in QOM:
(qemu) qom-get /machine/accel type "hvf-accel"

Hi,
this is a follow up patch that deprecates earlier series [1].
An outstanding issue is whether management applications can rely on the value of /machine/accel/type and output of qom-list-types command [2][3] to get current and present accels?
i.e. would it be ok if libvirt assumes that everything up to the first dash in the accel type is the name of the accel (as specified via -M accel=ACCEL flag) when it performs QEMU probing?
Hmm, I think it is not nice - we shouldn't have to parse the accel type names - IMHO typenames should be considered arbitrary opaque strings, even if they'll not be expected to change.
