As discussed in [*], the QemuOptsList member name values are ABI:
changing them can break existing -readconfig configuration files. If we
decide breaking ABI is okay here (big if!), we need to document it
prominently in the commit message.
I think in some (rare) cases breaking the rule is okay. For example,
the pending conversion of "-m" to QemuOpts uses "memory".
However, I don't think adding "-opts" is a good thing to do. Which one
is most readable?
[m]
size = 128M
max = 512M
[memory]
size = 128M
max = 512M
[memory-opts]
size = 128M
max = 512M
I'm for including this patch in 2.0.
