What do you mean by read-only field? I thought his usage was the same as
what we want for dsa-accel-path:
(qemu) migrate_set_parameter cpr-exec-command abc def
(qemu) info migrate_parameters
...
cpr-exec-command: abc def
(gdb) p valuestr
$3 = 0x55555766a8d0 "abc def"
(gdb) p *p->cpr_exec_command
$6 = {next = 0x55555823d300, value = 0x55555765f690 "abc"}
(gdb) p *p->cpr_exec_command.next
$7 = {next = 0x55555805be20, value = 0x555557fefc80 "def"}
