Re: [libvirt] [PATCH v2] qemu: Add shortcut for HMP pass through

This patch introduces --hmp option to qemu-monitor-command, which says that the provided command is in HMP. If libvirt uses QMP to talk with qemu, the command will automatically be converted into QMP. So the example above is simplified to just virsh qemu-monitor-command --hmp DOM "info kvm" --- Notes: Version 2: - document --hmp in virsh man page
