From: Anthony PERARD <anthony.per...@citrix.com>
This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen
or the default one tcg. We can specify more than one accelerator by
separate them by a comma. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose
works.
So,
-accel xen,kvm,tcg
which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finaly tcg if none of
the other works.
