qemu-kvm has:
-no-kvm
-no-kvm-irqchip
-no-kvm-pit
-no-kvm-pit-reinjection
-tdf <- does nothing
There are replacements for all of the above. If we need to add them to
qemu.git, it's not big deal to add them.
-drive ...,boot= <- this is ignored
cpu_set command for CPU hotplug which is known broken in qemu-kvm.
testdev which is nice but only used for development
Default nic is rtl8139 vs. e1000.
Some logic to move change the default VGA ram size to 16mb for pc-1.2
(QEMU uses 16mb by default now too).
I think at this point, none of this matters but I added the various
distro maintainers to the thread.
I think it's time for the distros to drop qemu-kvm and just ship
qemu.git. Is there anything else that needs to happen to make that
switch?
