No, because: 1) Older qemu, which does not support this option, uses v2. 2) It also depends on whether KVM or TCG is used. Currently we can have = v3 only with KVM, but when software emulation is implemented, it can be = used in all cases, regardless of host KVM restrictions. > That should work for every QEMU version, right? Wrong. See (1) above. Kind regards, Pavel Fedin Senior Engineer Samsung Electronics Research center Russia
