A few minutes after sending this, I found, buried deep down in my google
results, this non-documented option. :) Spent a good hour reading
through mailing list archives, forums posts, and various websites before
finding this.
Anyone willing to update the man pages for qemu and/or kvm-qemu to
document this option? :D
