Ouch. qemu commit 0a7cf21 fixes what would have been a regression in
2.3 at exposing "mem-merge" through query-command-line-options, but it
does NOT expose "vmport", which is a per-architecture option rather than
a generic -machine option. Which means that even though qemu 2.2
(perhaps wrongly) advertised "vmport" for all machines (even when it was
not supported), 2.3 will not advertise it, and we are hoping for a
better solution in 2.4 for properly advertising vmport on an
as-appropriate basis.
Yes, we WANT to use QMP probing,...

...and not version comparison, but we'll need something better in QMP
for 2.3 (which is rather late, since we missed 2.3-rc3) if you can't
come up with anything better for learning whether vmport is supported.
