I found that there are many spelling errors in the comments of qemu,
so I used the spellcheck tool to check the spelling errors
and finally found some spelling errors in the docs folder.

When starting an L2 KVM guest with `ic-mode=dual,kernel-irqchip=on`,
QEMU fails with:
KVM is too old to support ic-mode=dual,kernel-irqchip=on
This error message was introduced to detect older KVM versions that
didn't allow destruction and re-creation of the XICS KVM device that
we do at reboot. But it is actually the same issue that we get with
nested guests : when running under pseries, KVM currently provides
a genuine XICS device (not the XICS-on-XIVE device that we get
under powernv) which doesn't support destruction/re-creation.
This will eventually be fixed in KVM but in the meantime, update
the error message and documentation to mention the nested case.
While here, mention that in "No XIVE support in KVM" section that
this can also happen with "guest OSes supporting XIVE" since
we check this at init time before starting the guest.

It is not yet supported.

Older KVMs on POWER9 don't support destroying/recreating a KVM XICS
device, which is required by 'dual' interrupt controller mode. This
causes QEMU to emit a warning when the guest is rebooted and to fall
back on XICS emulation:
qemu-system-ppc64: warning: kernel_irqchip allowed but unavailable:
Error on KVM_CREATE_DEVICE for XICS: File exists
If kernel irqchip is required, QEMU will thus exit when the guest is
first rebooted. Failing QEMU this late may be a painful experience
for the user.
Detect that and exit at machine init instead.

This includes various small updates and a better description of the
chosen interrupt mode resulting from the combination of the 'ic-mode'
machine option, the 'kernel_irqchip' option, guest support and KVM
support.

This documents the overall XIVE architecture and the XIVE support for
sPAPR guest machines (pseries).
It also provides documentation on the 'info pic' command.
