Description Amos Kong 2013-04-19 10:06:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

Libvirt doesn't have a stable way to know option support detail, "qemu-kvm -h" is not stable. Need to introduce a new qmp command to query configuration schema information. hmp command isn't added.

Anthony mentioned this in Jan, but my patch [1] didn't got feedback.
Yesterday, Libvirt developer requested this command for me again.
