[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/4] QMP: Introduce the qmp_capabilities command

[Luiz Capitulino]

This command will be used to enable QMP capabilities advertised
by the capabilities array.

Note that it will be mandatory to issue this command in order
to make QMP functional (although this behavior is not being
enforced yet).

Also, as we don't have any capabilities yet, the new command
doesn't accept any arguments. I will postpone the decision for
a format for this until we get our first capability.

Finally, this command is visible from the user Monitor too, in
the meaning that you can execute it but it won't do anything.
Making it only visible in QMP is beyond this series' goal, as
it requires changes in unrelated places.
