We explicitly do not support passing arbitrary arguments to QEMU.
Supporting and implementing are two different things IMHO.
It is pretty clear that *supporting* such a configuration is impossible and that running it on production systems is a really bad idea for the reasons outlined.
Nevertheless being able to pass random additional arguments to $emulator is required for any serious development work. I *hate* to having to create a wrapper script each time I need to pass in additional parameters, and I'd *love* to see libvirt being a bit more developer friendly.
Making it friendlier to those like me who want to transition existing VMs into a libvirt-managed environment would be nice, too. Eventually I might figure out how to do what I need without those extra options, but for now, I just need the system to work. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
