Open question to all, why don't we have/add the ability to configure CONFIG_XXX=m for all potentially modular pieces? It should be possible to say, I want to build the storage plugins as modules, TCG I would like it built-in, and KVM as a module, or any combination of these. The most useful combination I see for virtualization use of qemu is with TCG as a module (M), KVM as built-in (Y), and various other optional pieces as modules (M). Should this not be the vision? To me it looks that way. Thanks, Claudio
