We also provide an API for guest creation (the qemu command line).

As an aside, I'd like to see all command line options have qmp equivalents (most of them can be implemented with a 'set' command that writes qdev values). This allows a uniform way to control a guest, whether at startup or runtime. You start with a case, cold-plug a motherboard, cpus, memory, disk controllers, and power it on.

The main blocker to this is converting all the devices to qdev. "partial" conversions are not sufficient. It's approximately the same problem as a machine config file. If you have one then the other should be fairly trivial.

Agreed.

IMO the no_user flag is a bug, and should not exist.
