Trying to work your proposal into my most recent stab at this, I ended up with: =C2=A0 Using -nodefaults is required to have full control over =C2=A0 the virtual hardware: when it's specified, QEMU will =C2=A0 populate the board with only the builtin peripherals, =C2=A0 such as the PL011 UART, plus a small selection of core =C2=A0 PCI devices and controllers; the user will then have to =C2=A0 esplicitly add further devices. =C2=A0 More specifically, the PCI devices that will always be =C2=A0 present in the guest are: =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A000:00.0 Host bridge =C2=A0 This configuration file adds a number of other... Does it look acceptable? --=C2=A0 Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
