[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/18] qom: dynamic properties and composition tree (v2)

[Anthony Liguori]

This is a follow up to my previous series to get us started in the QOM
direction.  A few things are different this time around.  Most notably:

 1) Devices no longer have names.  Instead, path names are always used to
    identify devices.

 2) In order to support (1), dynamic properties are now supported.

 3) The concept of a "root device" has been introduced.  The root device is
    roughly modelling the motherboard of a machine.  This type is a container
    type and it's best to think of it as something like a PCB board I guess.

To try it out, here's an example session:

Launch:

address@hidden:~/build/qemu$ x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda 
~/images/linux.img -snapshot -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=foo -qmp 
unix:/tmp/server.sock,server,nowait

Explore the object model:

address@hidden:~/git/qemu/QMP$ ./qom-list /
peripheral/
i440fx/
address@hidden:~/git/qemu/QMP$ ./qom-list /i440fx/
piix3/
address@hidden:~/git/qemu/QMP$ ./qom-list /i440fx/piix3

address@hidden:~/git/qemu/QMP$ ./qom-list /i440fx/piix3/rtc
