This new command lists all the instances of VirtIODevices with
their canonical QOM path and name.

[Jonah: @virtio_list duplicates information that already exists in
  the QOM composition tree. However, extracting necessary information
  from this tree seems to be a bit convoluted.

  Instead, we still create our own list of realized virtio devices
  but use @qmp_qom_get with the device's canonical QOM path to confirm
  that the device exists and is realized. If the device exists but
  is actually not realized, then we remove it from our list (for
  synchronicity to the QOM composition tree).
How could this happen?

  Also, the QMP command @x-query-virtio is redundant as @qom-list
  and @qom-get are sufficient to search '/machine/' for realized
  virtio devices. However, @x-query-virtio is much more convenient
  in listing realized virtio devices.]

Why not check dev->realized instead of calling qmp_qom_get() & qobject_to_json_pretty()?
This check queries the QOM composition tree to check that the device actually exists and is
realized. In other words, we just want to confirm with the QOM composition tree for the device.
Again, how could this happen?

If @virtio_list isn't reliable, why have it in the first place?
Honestly, I'm not sure how this even could happen, since the @virtio_list is managed at the realization
and unrealization of a virtio device. Given this, I do feel as though the list is reliable, although
this might just be naïve of me to say.

After giving this a second look, the @virtio_list is only really needed to provide a nice list of all
realized virtio devices on the system, along with their full canonical paths. If the user can find
the canonical path of a virtio device by searching the QOM composition tree, and assuming we can get
a @VirtioDevice object (in code) from this canonical path, then the rest of the QMP/HMP features of
these patches could be done by solely by searching the QOM composition tree.

However, I think having this list of realized virtio devices as a subset of the QOM composition tree
is worth its weight, since the user no longer has to search the entire tree to find virtio devices
and piece together their canonical paths.

Of course, if we're somehow able to generate a similar list in code by searching the QOM composition
tree, then there would be no need for this @virtio_list. However, it's really not clear how, or if,
such a list could be generated by parsing the QOM composition tree.

      
This was done to have some kind of synchronicity between @virtio_list and the QOM composition
tree, since the list duplicates information that already exists in the tree.
This check was recommended in v10 and added in v11 of this patch series.
Thanks, I found Markus comments:

v10:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/87ee6ogbiw.fsf@dusky.pond.sub.org/__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!LqeLFhE8PtTTg_qKRuP9Kgz5pyTNZLhYeRzp4a2oS8c3D5W8-irZoBW0L_Lf1ozm3qYidYhuVrjxjsAw$ 
My recommendation there was to *delete* virtio_list and search the QOM
composition tree instead:

    @virtio_list duplicates information that exists in the QOM composition
    tree.  It needs to stay in sync.  You could search the composition tree
    instead. 

The QOM composition tree is the source of truth.

This above is about the command's implementation, and ...

v11:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/87ee4abtdu.fsf@pond.sub.org/__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!LqeLFhE8PtTTg_qKRuP9Kgz5pyTNZLhYeRzp4a2oS8c3D5W8-irZoBW0L_Lf1ozm3qYidYhuVmVCuHjV$ 

Having the justification from v11 in the code rather than the commit
description could help.
... this part is about why the command could be useful.
