[libvirt] virsh capabilities, kvm with apic and toggle

[Garry Dolley]

When I run 'virsh capabilities' on a libvirt 0.6.4 system with qemu
0.10 and kvm-84, one of the results I get is:

  <guest>        
    <os_type>hvm</os_type>
    <arch name='x86_64'>
      <wordsize>64</wordsize>
      <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64</emulator>
      <machine>pc</machine>
      <machine>isapc</machine>
      <domain type='qemu'>
      </domain>
      <domain type='kvm'>
        <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator>
      </domain>
    </arch>
    <features>
      <acpi default='on' toggle='yes'/>
      <apic default='on' toggle='no'/>
    </features>
  </guest>

I'm wondering why the "apic" feature can't be toggled.  Passing
-no-kvm-irqchip to kvm would turn off "PIC/IOAPIC/LAPIC"
