Close, but not quite.

The "has_" fields are only present in the QEMU internal data structures,
never on the wire in the JSON messages that libvirt receives.

The problem is with QEMU's struct -> JSON serialization - if the 'has_gpa'
field is not set to 'true', then QEMU will *never* emit the 'gpa' field
in the JSON it sends to the client app.

So what libvirt receives is this:

 {"timestamp": {"seconds": 1752156518, "microseconds": 809325},
  "event": "GUEST_PANICKED",
  "data": {"action": "pause", "info": {
      "error-code": 0,
      "message": "TD misconfiguration: SEPT #VE has to be disabled",
      "type": "tdx"}}}

which has no 'gpa' present.

The value you assign to 'gpa' doesn't matter when 'has_gpa' is false,
as it'll never get into the JSON event, so having it be '-1' is not
significantly different from leaving it on 0.
