Add a flag so it's not listed in -M ? ?
For qemu 1.3, libvirt will NOT be reading '-M ?', but instead calling the 'query-machines' QMP command. If you want a machine to be avoided by libvirt, then perhaps it is best to augment the MachineInfo QMP datatype to add an optional field that says whether a particular machine type is stable enough for libvirt's use. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
