[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/19] Port -net to QemuOpts

[Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>]

Hi,
        Here's a fairly straightforward port of -net to QemuOpts.

        Chatting to Gerd, he favours:

  1) Adding explicit support to QemuOpts for type specific parameters so
     that it can be used by the chardev code too

  2) Adding a flags field which could be used to indicate that a parameter
     can be specified multiple times

        Both sound good, but IMHO would be fine after this -net series.

        Testing details:

  - I've just now rebased to Anthony's queue, and haven't completely
    re-done my testing. The conflicts were fairly trivial, though

  - Build tested all targets, also with mingw and with VDE enabled

  - Tried to excercise as many of the options as possible, including
    stuff like hostfwd

  - Tested monitor commands too

  - Runtime testing of basic net functionality

Cheers,
Mark.
