Libvirt has no way to probe if an option or property is supported,
This patch introdues a new qmp command to query configuration schema
information. hmp command isn't added because it's not needed.

Agreed that no HMP counterpart is needed.  However, I don't think we
have quite the right interface yet.

Why just a strList?  That only tells me option names.  But we already
know so much more than that - we know the type and the help string.

I'd rather see an array of structs, more closely mirroring what
include/qemu/option.h gives us:

# JSON representation of values of QEMUOptionParType, may grow in future
{ 'enum': 'ConfigParamType',
  'data': [ 'flag', 'number', 'size', 'string' ] }

# JSON representation of QEMUOptionParameter, may grow in future
# @help is optional if no text was present
{ 'type': 'ConfigParamInfo',
  'data': { 'name': 'str', 'type': 'ConfigParamType', '*help':'str' } }

# Each command line option, and its list of parameters
{ 'type': 'ConfigSchemaInfo',
  'data': { 'option':'str', 'params': ['ConfigParamInfo'] } }

And that means we no longer have ['str'], which bypasses the need for
your patch 1/2.

That didn't read well.  Also, QERR_INVALID_OPTION_GROUP is a generic
error; we don't mention any other QERR_* names in qapi-schema.json.  How
about:

Returns: list of @ConfigSchemaInfo for all options (or for the given
         @option).  Returns an error if a given @option doesn't exist.

This part looks good.

Again, QERR_INVALID_OPTION_GROUP is not a defined error (it is shorthand
for a specific message for a GenericError class).

Back to my desire for more structure, I'd like to see:


-> {"execute": "query-config-schema", "arguments" : {"option": "boot-opts"}}
<- {
    "return": [
        {
            "params": [
                {
                    "name": "strict",
                    "type": "string"
                },
                {
                    "name": "reboot-timeout",
                    "type": "string"
                },
                ...
            ],
            "option": "boot-opts"
        }
     ]
  }

Another more interesting example, showing why the "type" and optional
"help" fields are useful, assuming
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-04/msg04810.html goes in:

-> {"execute": "query-config-schema", "arguments" : {"option": "drive"}}
<- {
    "return": [
        {
            "params": [
                {
                    "name": "bus",
                    "type": "number",
                    "help": "bus number"
                },
                {
                    "name": "if",
                    "type": "string",
                    "help": "interface (ide, scsi, sd, mtd, floppy,
pflash, virtio)"
                },
                ...
            ],
            "option": "drive"
        }
     ]
  }

This part of the iteration looks fine.

Here, you'd need to allocate a bit more structure, to match the JSON I
proposed above.

Looking forward to v2.
