List,

Please find attached a trivial patch to allow -readconfig to read from a pre-existing filedescriptor instead of a file off disk.

Syntax is '-readconfig fd:<n>' to read from filedescriptor <n>.

This is useful for example for libvirt which allow it to pass configuration data, including possibly sensitive such, into qemu without this data hitting the filesystem or a disk.

regards
