When the host doesn't support 32bit guests, the kvmtool fails
without a proper message on what is wrong. i.e,
$ lkvm run -c 1 Image --aarch32
# lkvm run -k Image -m 256 -c 1 --name guest-105618
Fatal: Unable to initialise vcpu
Given that there is no other easy way to check if the host supports 32bit
guests, it is always good to report this by checking the capability, rather
than leaving the users to hunt this down by looking at the code!
After this patch:
$ lkvm run -c 1 Image --aarch32
# lkvm run -k Image -m 256 -c 1 --name guest-105695
Fatal: 32bit guests are not supported
