[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 1/1] -machine vmport=off: Allow disabling of VMWare ioport emulation

[Don Slutz <dslutz@verizon.com>]

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

This is a pc & q35 only machine opt.

VMWare apparently doesn't like running under QEMU due to our
incomplete emulation of it's special IO Port.  This adds a
pc & q35 property to allow it to be turned off.
