Sorry for not catching this earlier, but I'm afraid this is not
going to work -- libvirt doesn't pass either -enable-kvm or the
machine option accel=kvm when probing for capabilities, which
means that, with the current implementation, it will only get
information about emulated GIC.

Is there a way to make probing work without requiring KVM to
be enabled?

Cheers.
