[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/12] convert many options to QemuOpts

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

This converts a lot of commonly-used options to QemuOpts.  Most of them
get in -machine, but I don't intend -machine to become a catch-all option.
In fact I refrained from converting those that should go in -display
(like -keyboard) or should be moved to enum device properties.

With the exception of -display, now a more-or-less complete PC machine
can be created from config.  This is unfortunately not true of most
embedded machines which use arrays such as serial_hd to create devices
and do not support using -device instead.

This does not mean that all options can be used.  Only -monitor and
-qmp create a backend/frontend pair in QemuOpts, so things such as
-serial stdio will not work.

Patch 1 is a bugfix, it was already submitted and informally approved
by Blue.

Paolo Bonzini (12):
  vga: disable default VGA if appropriate -device is used
  QemuOpts: use strtosz
  cmdline: implement -m with QemuOpts
  cmdline: implement -S with QemuOpts
  cmdline: implement -bios with QemuOpts
  cmdline: implement -localtime with QemuOpts
  cmdline: make -M a simple alias for -machine type
  cmdline: convert -smp to QemuOpts
  cmdline: reindent numa_add
  cmdline: convert -numa to QemuOpts
  cmdline: implement -nodefaults with qemuopts
  cmdline: convert -no-shutdown and -no-reboot to QemuOpts
