[Qemu-devel] [PULL 28/30] target/arm/kvm: gic: Prevent creating userspace GICv3 with KVM

[Peter Maydell]

From: Christoffer Dall <address@hidden>

KVM doesn't support emulating a GICv3 in userspace, only GICv2.  We
currently attempt this anyway, and as a result a KVM guest doesn't
receive interrupts and the user is left wondering why.  Report an error
to the user if this particular combination is requested.
