Since Linux commit 00f918f61c56 ("RISC-V: KVM: Skeletal in-kernel AIA
irqchip support") checking KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP returns non-zero when the
RISC-V platform has AIA. The cap indicates KVM supports at least one
of the following ioctls:

   KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
   KVM_IRQ_LINE
   KVM_GET_IRQCHIP
   KVM_SET_IRQCHIP
   KVM_GET_LAPIC
   KVM_SET_LAPIC

but the cap doesn't imply that KVM must support any of those ioctls
in particular. However, QEMU was assuming the KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
ioctl was supported. Stop making that assumption by introducing a
KVM parameter that each architecture which supports KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP
sets. Adding parameters isn't awesome, but given how the
KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP isn't very helpful on its own, we don't have a lot of
options.

While this fixes booting guests on riscv KVM with AIA it's unlikely
to get merged before the QEMU support for KVM AIA[1] lands, which
would also fix the issue. I think this patch is still worth considering
though since QEMU's assumption is wrong.

I think I'd do this differntly... at the beginning of the function, there is a check for kvm_check_extension(s, KVM_CAP_IRQCHIP) etc. ... I think you could now replace that check with a simple

	if (!kvm_has_create_irqchip) {
		return;
	}

The "kvm_vm_enable_cap(s, KVM_CAP_S390_IRQCHIP, 0)" of course has to be moved to the target/s390x/kvm/kvm.c file, too.
