Ok, that sounds more workable :). So i would add my initrd_addr property to
the bootloader as a qdev prop as I suggested before, then something like:
qemu-system-arm -M verstailepb -property
/foo/bar/arm_linux_loader.0,initrd_addr=0x10000000
Yes.
There are various implementation/syntax details to resolve, but in principle I
think it should work a lot like that.
There's already a qom-set that takes a path, property, and value. It works with
Visitors. To bridge this to the command line, you would need to make a Visitor
that defined some syntax for mapping strings to types (pretty trivial really).
But before we can even think about this, we need to refactor the device model
such that we have a clean separation between initial creation (including
creation of children devices) and initialization that requires properties to be
set (realization).
I posted a series for the i440fx that started doing this refactoring for the PC.
