It will be very useful for user space if it has a method of querying
VCPU target type suitable to underlying Host. We can use such querying
mechanism and implement machine models in user space where VCPU target
type is always same-as/suitable-to underlying Host (i.e. Target CPU=Host).
This patch series implements KVM_ARM_SUITABLE_TARGET ioclt for querying
VCPU target type matching underlying host. Using this new ioctl we can
implement VCPU target CPU=Host in user space (i.e. QEMU/KVMTOOL).
Also, it is not mandatory to call KVM_ARM_SUITABLE_TARGET ioctl and the
old method of using only KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl works fine.
