This series cleans up qemu_init, grouping together code that does a similar function. In particular:
* generic initialization of various subsystemd is placed in separate functions * code that was randomly placed in vl.c is moved to machine.c * early options that affect the whole program are grouped together (-sandbox, -name, -trace, -L) * pure syntactic sugar options (-mem-prealloc, -watchdog) are grouped together * the creation of backends is split into an "early" (before -machine) and a "late" (after -machine) part The remaining code that I have not split deals mostly with setting up the machine object; this includes -smp, -boot, -m, -numa. With this refactoring, one can (almost) see some clearly delimited phases: * before the machine is created, only backends can be created (e.g. early -object processing). In principle more initialization could be moved before the machine is created: the machine class is available and it can be used to decide which default devices to create. * after the machine is created, the accelerator needs to be established * after the accelerator is established, board setup can proceed and devices can be created Apart from the obvious absence of commands like machine-set and accel-set (and making chardev-add, blockdev-add etc. available in preconfig mode), the following complications are the blockers for pure-QMP configuration of machines: * as usual, there is no hook into board creation code to communicate the backends for on-board devices. This is because serial_hd, nd_table etc. don't have a QAPI/QMP representation. * the current "preconfig" loop does not let you configure enough, since it ends before devices can be created and the regular monitor loop only starts after qdev_machine_creation_done. Perhaps x-exit-preconfig would execute everything up to (and excluding) qdev_machine_creation_done, while the rest would be deferred to the first "cont" command using a vm state change notifier.
