Hello,
As we discussed on the list, here are RFC patches that allow
both qemu monitor passthrough and the ability to specify extra
arguments to be passed on the qemu command-line. I've specifically
not done the more complicated regex command-line editing for now,
since we don't have consensus on it.
There are a few outstanding issues with these patches:
1) Should we have a separate structure for the per-driver qemuMonitorCommand
entry point?
2) Due to the way that virsh parses command-line arguments, it's not
possible to pass it an argument that has spaces (even if you properly
quote it). Therefore I have a hack in place that will convert ^ to
space before passing it along, which is pretty crappy. How should we go about
fixing this? Fix virsh argument parsing, or go about it a different way?
Questions or comments about the patch series are welcome.
