----------

- cpu as dev
making qdev available to all parts of qemu is the best solution (aliguory)
how does linux-user people think about it?
Eduardo will follow
Objections:
* conceptually it makes no sense to have devices on *-user
* desire of linux-user to maintain the code relativelly small
* really they want less dependencies
Who is going to merge it?
either anthony or andreas through cpu tree

- boot and -bootindex (agraf)
should this overwrote CMOS on PC (anthony)
Always writing nvram makes other things work.
-boot c : means boot with legacy device
with uefi there is a boot variable
-boot c don't make sense out of x86
* make the list of bootable devices visible to the user
and store in nvram?

At this point I got lost, and Anthony/Alex needs to fill the details
of the proposals.

- Command line compatibility patches (marcelo)
merge then directly or through qdev
