We also provide an API for guest creation (the qemu command line).
As an aside, I'd like to see all command line options have qmp equivalents (most of them can be implemented with a 'set' command that writes qdev values). This allows a uniform way to control a guest, whether at startup or runtime. You start with a case, cold-plug a motherboard, cpus, memory, disk controllers, and power it on.
I would also like a way to read the entire qdev tree from qmp. -- Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
