      I've tried the way you suggested me, and I got exactly the same
      qemu line to be executed.<br>
      I suggest you to use my way of using the vendor-id and don't mess
      with qemu arguments in the xml file.<br>

                the hyper-v vendor-id patch has given to us. The ability

                              I'm just giving the ID "GoobyPLS" to the

                              Also, I'm using the qemu git version
