I re-read your previous comment before posting: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/228886/focus=229185 and I agree with it in theory. However, current qemu practice (even recent patches, eg. 9dbb52e8) seem to point in the opposite direction. I don't feel strongly about this -- I just promised earlier to do it and I want it off my shouler. Thanks! Laszlo
