Well, I haven't had time to finalise such support. Even though I'm also
interested in it, it's not my top-priority.

You can get them in your tree and work on them if you're interested. I'd
be happy to help.

Yann,

Sure. From an initial glance, the patch sets (each adding support for
qemu, and libvirt, respectively) look OK to me.

Maybe I could simply submit them here to start a discussion .. or are
there obvious issues that you are aware of which need resolved first ?

regards

Brendan

Nothing obvious as far as I know. Just that I did not have time to fully
test them.

The qemu patches I still ave had some comments from Peter, but I never
came to eventually fix them (and it was quite a while ago, and I don't
recall everything Peter said...).

So, maybe you can get them, test that they work for you, and if so, spin
them on the list.
