[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/3]: Add UUID command-line option

[Chris Lalancette <clalance@redhat.com>]

All,
     Attached is a three part patch series to implement a "-uuid" command-line
option to qemu.  The original work for this was all done by Gleb Natapov; since
there hadn't seemed to be any activity on this since June, I picked up his
patches and ran with them (original posting:
http://www.archivum.info/qemu-devel@nongnu.org/2008-06/msg00167.html).  These
patches are basically the same as his, just cleaned up according to Anthony
Liguori's feedback.

Gleb: I'm willing to do the additional work to get these patches included in
Qemu proper; if you prefer to do it, that's fine too.  I don't care either way,
I would just like to see them go in.

Anthony: I've addressed all of your comments from the previous patch series
except for one.  I didn't remove most of the "#ifdef CONFIG_UUID" from the vl.c
file.  In the case where UUID is not compiled into qemu, I think it is much
preferable to noisily complain that we don't understand the -uuid command-line
option, rather than silently fail to set it.
