Starting from qemu 2.11, the `-device vmcoreinfo` will create a fw_cfg entry for a guest to store dump details, necessary to process kernel dump with KASLR enabled and providing additional kernel details.
Since the device is a singleton and shouldn't use additional hardware resources, I decided to map this to a <feature> element in the libvirt domain XML. Feel free to argue and decide if it is better to have it under <devices> instead.
So is this similar to -fw_cfg name=etc/vmcoreinfo,file=X but in this case it is not backed by a file, but collected by QEMU itself?
correct
would you mind adding a tiny detail about that into the commit message?
I'm OK with this being a feature.
Should I split the commit or can I resubmit like this without RFC?
It would be nice to have this in news.xml, so if you don't mind resending with the second patch adding it to docs/news.xml, I'd be glad.
