[Qemu-devel] KVM call minutes for 2012-10-16

----------

- cpu as dev
  making qdev available to all parts of qemu is the best solution (aliguory)
  how does linux-user people think about it?
  Eduardo will follow
  Objections:
  * conceptually it makes no sense to have devices on *-user
  * desire of linux-user to maintain the code relativelly small
    * really they want less dependencies
  Who is going to merge it?
   either anthony or andreas through cpu tree

- boot and -bootindex (agraf)
  should this overwrote CMOS on PC (anthony)
  Always writing nvram makes other things work.
  -boot c : means boot with legacy device
  with uefi there is a boot variable
  -boot c don't make sense out of x86
   * make the list of bootable devices visible to the user
     and store in nvram?

  At this point I got lost, and Anthony/Alex needs to fill the details
  of the proposals.

- Command line compatibility patches (marcelo)
  merge then directly or through qdev
