[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 22/22] machine: introduce -machine-def option to define a machine via config

[Anthony Liguori]

Since we have MachineCore and can represent a machine entirely via default
options, we can introduce a new option that let's us dynamically register a
machine based on those options.

For instance, we could add the following to target-x86_64.conf:

[machine-def]
 name = "pc-0.11"
 desc = "Standard PC"
 acpi = "on"
 pci = "on"
 cpu = "qemu64"
 max_cpus = "255"
 virtio-blk-pci.vectors = "0"
 virtio-serial-pci.max_nr_ports = "1"
 virtio-serial-pci.vectors = "0"
 ide-drive.ver = "0.11"
 scsi-disk.ver = "0.11"
 PCI.rombar = "0"

What's really exciting, is that a user can then define their own machines
that better suite their desires:

[kvmpc]
 name = "kvmpc"
 accel = "kvm|tcg"
 ram_size = "512M"
 max_cpus = "64"
 sockets = "16"
 default_drive = "virtio"

I'd eventually like to move all PC compatibility machines to the default
config but for now, I wanted to keep this simple.
