[PATCH] target/arm: Catch invalid kvm state also for hvf
Posted by Alexander Graf 1 year, 10 months ago
Some features such as running in EL3 or running M profile code are
incompatible with virtualization as QEMU implements it today. To prevent
users from picking invalid configurations on Hvf as well, let's run the
same checks there as well.

I think this should be !tcg_enabled().  No hw virtualization can use EL3 (or M-profile), 
only full emulation from TCG.  There is such a thing as ARM on Windows, so I can imagine 
that WHPX may make a future appearance here.

(MTE may eventually be supported by virtualization, but it's not there yet.)

You can get the accelerator name from

     AccelClass *ac = ACCEL_GET_CLASS(current_accel());
     const char *name = ac->name;
