[Qemu-devel] [Request for inputs]Qemu parameters that need runtime change.

[Prerna Saxena <prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Hi,
QEMU at present can be started with a huge list of parameters, and only 
a subset of these can be changed at runtime. For the remaining ones, one 
needs to restart the qemu instance.
I've been trying to put together a list of some such parameters, which 
would make good candidates for a runtime change. Request inputs on more 
such parameters that could make it here, and also whether the following 
are good-to-have features:
1. Allowing a runtime change from one chardev backend to another ( Eg, 
from TCP socket to unix, and vice-versa )
2. Changing the network interfaces (from -net user to -net tap ? )

I'm presently aware of these; it would be good to get more inputs on 
what more can be done here.
