Adding a new option --config (or -c) for specifying a custom
qemu.conf file.
Previously, virt-qemu-run loaded default configuration values for
QEMU via qemuStateInitialize(). The configuration was loaded from
a temporary ../etc/ directory using virQEMUDriverConfigLoadFile(),
and any qemu.conf file present in that directory was also loaded
automatically.
This patch allows users to specify a custom configuration file,
which is copied into the temporary directory (or a permanent
folder if the -r option is used) before loading the
configuration. If an existing qemu.conf is present, it is
properly backed up and restored in case of a permanent folder.
The custom qemu.conf is always removed when the program exits.

Hm.. this is the point where I'd expect config_to_delete to be set. Just
consider that rename() succeeds, but ...

... open() fails. Then, when caller is doing cleanup it needs to rename
the file back. This renders the variable name a bit misleading though,
how about 'rename_config'?

This can made better. Firstly - you can avoid reconstruting path again
by simply returning it from qemuAddConfigFile() [1]. Secondly - the way
that 'possible_old_file' is reconstructed is very fragile - what if
somebody modifies delta_ms? Thirdly - you do not need to remove() the
file - just renmae(possible_old_file, to_delete).
1: In fact, to my previous point about 'config_to_delete' rename -
qemuAddConfigFile() can simply set a pointer which would be then used as
a signal to rename the file.
Something like this:
int main() {
/* this would effectively be $root/etc/qemu.conf */
g_autofree char *old_config_file = NULL;
/* this would be $root/etc/qemu_old_XXXX.conf */
g_autofree char *saved_config_file = NULL;
...
qemuAddConfigFile(config, root, &old_config_file, &saved_config_file);
...
cleanup:
...
if (saved_config_file &&
rename(saved_config_file, old_config_file) < 0) {
g_printerr();
}
...
}
