Thanks so much for your reviewing.

In qemu, it provides some options for some kind of devices or hardware 
by -machine option.
I think its purpose is to provide the configurations for machines to 
compare with -device xxx.

There will be  more and more options to be set  by -machine according to 
QEMU's development.
So, in my patch,  -machine is used to be set more options not only 
dump_core with newer QEMU versions
