Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 21/34] Convert character devices over to use -device

The current character device syntax uses either -serial tty,path=/dev/ttyS2 Or -chardev tty,id=serial0,path=/dev/ttyS2 -serial chardev:serial0 With the new -device support, we now prefer -chardev file,id=serial0,path=/tmp/serial.log -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 This patch changes the existing -chardev syntax to use this new scheme, and fallbacks to the old plain -serial syntax for old QEMU. The monitor device changes to -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/tmp/test-monitor,server,nowait -mon chardev=monitor In addition, this patch adds --nodefaults, which kills off the default serial, parallel, vga and nic devices. THis avoids the need for us to explicitly turn each off
