Also, an addition to the unittests.cfg documentation. Got it, replace extra_opts with qemu_opts in the scripts. Yes, the documentation for unittests.cfg (at the top of the file) should definitely be updated to document the new configuration option, kvmtool_params. > > The above diff doesn't consider that a unittests.cfg file could have > both an 'extra_params' and a 'qemu_params' field, but I'm not sure > we care about that.

I'm thinking it would make the usage clearer, improve consistency (we would have qemu_params and kvmtool_params, instead of extra_params and kvmtool_params), and remove any confusions regarding when they are used (I can see someone thinking that extra_params are used all the time, and are appended to kvmtool_params when --target=kvmtool). On the other hand, this could be problematic for people using out-of-tree scripts that parse the unittest.cfg file for whatever reason (are there people that do that?).
