[Qemu-devel] [PATCH V2 0/4] machine: QemuOpts per machine

[Marcel Apfelbaum]

V1 -> V2:
 - Rebased on qom-next queue. 
 - Patch 1/4:
   - Since there are a lot of discussions on the correct
     way to do the fix, added a FIXME comment to find a better way.
 - Patch 2/4:
   - Addressed Michael Roth's comments:
     - Added output visitor test
     - Tweaked it as advised
 - Patch 4/4
   - Addressed Andreas Farber's comments:
     - Renamed machine_state -> ms to conform with the other patches
   - Solved an issue discovered with make check:
     - Updated machine->kernel_cmdline to be an empty string
       if no string was supplied by the user.
 - All other comments were addressed in the mail thread (I hope...)

This series continues 'machine as QOM' targeting two related issues:
 - Patch 1/4 completly removes QEMUMachineInitArgs from the code
   with a big mechanical patch. It removes QEMUMachineInitArgs
   from MachineState and gets rid of duplicated fields.
   - I am perfectly aware that patches touching a lot of files
     are not desirable, but this one is a very simple replacement
     patch:
       QEMUMachineInitArgs -> MachineState
       args -> ms
   - This is the simplest way to get rid of QEMUMachineInitArgs fast.
 - Patch 4/4 aims to enable QemuOpts per machine by automatically 
   filling in the machine opts into the current machine. Subclassing
   MachineClass and adding options mapped into properties is a
   better way than using global options.

Patches 1/4 and 3/4 fix little bugs needed by 4/4.
