Hi everybody,
while coding the support for Jason's dump-guest-core option I realized
there is (probably) a problem with the way QEMU parses additional
machine options ('dump-guest-core', 'kvm_shadow_mem' etc.). Running QEMU
with option to -machine works ok, but using '-M' (as libvirt does) works
only w/o additional options, otherwise it ends in an error (the whole
string is probably parsed as a machine name).
Is '-M' so obsolete it shouldn't be used at all or is it just an bug? We
still use '-M' everywhere I know and '-machine' isn't compatible with
older versions and different builds of QEMU.
Should I file a bug or do we have to drop '-M' for this situations?
Have a nice day,
Martin
