Re: [Qemu-stable] [Qemu-discuss] Qemu "-cpu host" option

Sorry, I should have mentioned this earlier.
I'm running it on x86_64 architecture, and I'm using -enable-kvm .
So in this case, does Qemu binary translate even when "-cpu host" is used?

Thanks,
Abhinav

That depends what target architecture you're using. For instance for
ARM targets, "-cpu host" is only valid if KVM is enabled and is an
error otherwise.
