Hi all, As the subject says, this is an RFC.
I have a few patches (to follow), that change the help output from QEMU so that we only display options that are accepted by the arch of the running binary. So for example qemu-system-ppc64 will not tell you about i386 options like -no-acpi, -no-hpet etc. We already have almost all the information we need, it just requires actually filtering the options as we print them in the help text - and some related cruft, see the patches for details. I'd argue it's generally a sane change, but it also has the benefit that it makes libvirt's life easier. For better or worse libvirt parses the output of qemu -h to see what options are supported. At the moment that is problematic because the ppc64 emulator claims to support -no-acpi etc. So with this change libvirt could more reliably determine what is supported. cheers
