I agree, there is no harm in adding an option of configuration, different setup configurations require different timeout values. my setup was 8 servers booted with PXE boot and running on nfs rootfs, with 8 vms on each. when I tried to start all of them together the bottle neck was the network and it takes about 5 minutes till they all start.
That doesn't make any sense. The waiting code here is about the QEMU process' initial startup sequence - ie the gap between exec'ing the QEMU binary, and it listening on the monitor socket. PXE / nfsroot doesn't get involved there at all. Even if it were involve, if you're seeing 5 minute delays with only 8 vms on the host, something is seriously screwed with your host. This isn't a compelling reason to add this config option to libvirt.
