I've been meaning to look into qemu_fw_cfg more closely. I like the
idea, but am wondering if it makes sense to do it this way. It
definitely combines well with the cloudinit patch set, but I wonder if
it might be useful to be able to pass along other data - either
additionally or instead of the config.
Mainly I'd like the option to be able to see the vmid, eg. I like
deriving ip addresses from the vmid, so if the guest could see that, I
could clone and start a template without having to configure anything
at all ;-)
It could be encoded in the name though... or perhaps an option to pass
along a file by path? But that would have to be limited to root... I
think we already talked about this a little bit in the early cloudinit
patche series...
