New feature shout outs for KVM Forum QEMU Status Report

New feature shout outs for KVM Forum QEMU Status Report

[Alex Bennée]

Hi Maintainers,

Are there any features that got added in the last year (since KVM Forum
2021) that you think deserve more recognition? If so please reply to
this thread (or privately to me if you want) and let me know what
feature landed and why it is so cool.

The reward could well be a bullet point in the talk ;-)

Thanks,

- almost all compilation tests moved to Meson

- this leaves configure to do compiler detection and prepare the
dependencies (submodules, in the future python venv)
   - compiler detection for tests/tcg and firmware moved to configure,
enabling cross compilation of firmware

- -audio as a replacement for -soundhw

- statistics subsystem (for now KVM statistics are available)

- VDUSE export was added so qemu-storage-daemon can export disk images
  to the host kernel and guests. See qemu-storage-daemon(1) man page for
  details.

hw/remote/
- vfio-user server support was added so PCI devices can be emulated in a
  separate QEMU process. vfio-user client support is not yet available
  in QEMU so guests are currently unable to connect to the server.
