[PATCH 3/3] qemu: Use '-machine hpet=off' instead of '-no-hpet'

Peter Krempa pkrempa at redhat.com
Tue Jan 3 09:53:01 UTC 2023


qemu is about to deprecate the '-no-hpet' option in favor of configuring
the timer via '-machine'.

Use the QEMU_CAPS_MACHINE_HPET capability to switch to the new syntax
and mask out the old QEMU_CAPS_NO_HPET capability at the same time to
prevent using the old syntax.
