Personally though I don't see much benefit to simple syntax config
files over C files, that are being used now.
Config files implies a self check process. A better question might
be, has qemu grown to the point where an outsider is going to define
a new platform?
Absolutely. I've been using it to prototype firmware for a NUMA
chipset. I've had to invent ugly command-line hacks for specifying the
number of nodes, per-node consoles, etc. And I still need to use a
debugger to override variable values in my init. code when I want to
test "odd" cases which my hacks don't support. I could make good use of
a generalized configuration file.
