This is a top-level section.  It ends up between sections "QMP
introspection" and "QEMU Object Model (QOM)".  Is this what we want?  Or
should it be a sub-section of something?  Or next to something else?

Please don't abbreviate Format to Fmt.  We use Format elsewhere, and
consistency is desirable.

The others are like

         'mumble': 'MumbleProperties'

Let's stick to that, and also avoid running together multiple
capitalized acronyms: KvmPmuFilterProperties.
