I still can't run a proper test due to unavailable hw but in the 
meantime I tried to virsh define a libvirt guest pointed at qemu (master 
+ this patch).  Regardless of machine type (s390-ccw-virtio-5.0 or 
s390-ccw-virtio-4.2) I get:

virsh define guest.xml
error: Failed to define domain from /path/to/guest.xml
error: invalid argument: could not find capabilities for arch=s390x 
domaintype=kvm

Similarly:

virsh domcapabilities
error: failed to get emulator capabilities
error: invalid argument: unable to find any emulator to serve 's390x' 
architecture

Rolling back to qemu master, the define and domcapabilities work (with 
no ais of course).

So: there is some incompatibility between the way libvirt invokes qemu 
to detect capabilities and this code.  The above line seems to be the 
root problem - if I take your patch and remove 'smc' then libvirt works 
as expected and I can see ais in the domcapabilities.

Looking at those wrappers David mentioned...  I suspect you need this 
for the 'none' machine case.  I tried a quick hack with the following:

bool ais_allowed(void)
{
    /* for "none" machine this results in true */
    return get_machine_class()->kvm_ais_allowed;
}

and

if (ais_allowed() &&
    kvm_check_extension(s, KVM_CAP_S390_AIS_MIGRATION)) {
    kvm_vm_enable_cap(s, KVM_CAP_S390_AIS, 0);
}

This works and doesn't break libvirt compatibility detection.
