Hi,
I'm interested in adding a way for a host to pass environment variables
into a qemu guest VM -- analogous to setting environment variables for
a process to access via getenv() and friends.
The QEMU Guest Agent (QGA) does not appear to quite fit the bill, at
least not in its current form: The

the kernel command line. This requires a Linux guest kernel and that
