But since we have already declared that 1.2 is the last release where
libvirt will be scraping -help output, and that 1.3 and later will allow
libvirt to query all configuration information via QMP commands, I think
that you really _do_ need to consider QMP commands in the scope of this
patch series, if you expect libvirt to be able to react to this
information in qemu 1.3.
