See also discussion on multi-valued keys in command line option arguments and config files in v1 thread. Hopefully we can reach a conclusion soon, and then we'll see whether this patch is what we want.
Yeah, let's drop this patch by now. I am starting to be convinced that "cpus=A,cpus=B,cpus=C" is the best approach. It is not pretty, but at least it uses generic parser code instead of yet another ad-hoc parser. No, we cannot rely on this behavior. We had to do it to support backwards compat with netdev but it should not be used anywhere else.
We chose a config format (git's) because it was a good match for QemuOpts, and multiple-valued operations are well supported by that config format; see git-config(1). There is no reason to consider it a backwards-compatibility hack.
Seconded.
