More on this:
qemu 2.7 command line spells it "debug", it was only QMP that spelled it
"debug-level". And libvirt's only use of QEMU_CAPS_GLUSTER_DEBUG_LEVEL
was to request "debug" from the command line. Eventually, libvirt will
want to use blockdev-add, and we'd prefer that the spelling be
consistent throughout (that is, command line and hotplug through QMP
should be identical). Which is why qemu 2.8 is fixing the QMP spelling
to match the command line for -rc3.
So Jeff's patch to qemu 2.8 is still correct, and all we need on the
libvirt side is to match the patch spelling to the actual qemu 2.8
release (and not the 2.8-rc2 release).
The current qemu repository apparently contains the patch. I'll post a
update to qemucapabilitiesdata/caps_2.8.0.x86_64.replies which are taken
pre-rc2 and thus did not contain this change along with an updated
version of this patch.
