The following series implements machine config files, and adds converts some of the existing hardcoded machines.
Hmm. The converted machine types have a pretty static configuration, i.e. where you don't need to specify more that just "-M type" on the command line.
What is the plan for machines which can be configured in alot of different ways such as a typical PC? Where you can configure lots of details such as cpu, memory, nic, disk drives, ... using command line options?
What is the plan for linking host and guest devices (i.e. hook up nics to vlans, connect disks to blkdrvstates, ...)? Right now qdev_get_macaddr() does it in a hackish way with a bold FIXME ...
The config files themselves are based on the ppc-linux Flattened Device Trees. In generaly I've tried to structure things so that the same config file can be used for both qemu and linux.
Is there Documentation (other than source code) for libftd? Do you have a pointer for me?
Guess I have to dive into the libftd to get a more clear picture how all this is supposed to work together ...
cheers, Gerd
