Right, and since QEMU also only supports a limited set of devices, there
is no chance that you can mirror an arbitrary host this way. But if you
want to convert a host into a VM and do not care whether each and every
detail can be mirrored, have a look at http://libguestfs.org/virt-
p2v.1.html - that's likely the best solution so far.

Title:
[Feature Request] Automatic device configuration discovery
Status in QEMU:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Would it be possible to have a script that enumerates the device tree
of a Linux host and generates a qemu command line that would recreate
it under emulation? The user would have to customize the arguments
(for instance to point to disk image files), but it would take a lot
of the guesswork out.
Similarly, there could be information that can be gleaned from the
kernel build config that would help with configuration.
