There are extra properties for accelerators to enable the specific
features. For example, the dirty ring for KVM accelerator can be
enabled by "-accel kvm,dirty-ring-size=65536". Unfortuntely, the
extra properties for the accelerators aren't supported. It makes
it's impossible to test the combination of KVM and dirty ring
as the following error message indicates.

Allow to specify extra properties for accelerators. With this, the
"its-migration" can be tested for the combination of KVM and dirty
ring.

Maybe get_qemu_accelerator could be renamed now, since it doesn't actually "get"
anything, so maybe check_qemu_accelerator?

In any case, I gave it a quick run on s390x with kvm and tcg and nothing seems
to break, hence for the changes in s390x:

Thanks for a quick try and comment for this. I guess it's fine to keep the function name as get_qemu_accelator() because $ACCEL is split into $ACCEL and $ACCEL_PROPS inside it, even it don't print the accelerator name at return. However, I'm also fine with check_qemu_accelerator(). Lets see what's Drew's comment on this and I can post v4 to have the modified function name, or an followup patch to modify the function name.

Thanks,
Gavin
