Hi David,


Thanks a lot for your review and suggestion, I will resend a new version right now.

Normally I think the syntax for the help is 
(vcpu: vCPU to read, default is 0)"

That's setting the CPU so that subsequent commands that don't
specify the CPU will change - that's probably not what you want.
So I suspect you should probably use qemu_get_cpu(index)  to get
the CPU you want which doesn't change the currently selected CPU.

So the question then is what do you want to happen when the
parameter isn't specified.  The current behaviour is to give you
the *current* CPU but you're changing that to give vCPU 0
by default.

So I think you could change this to:

  if (qdict_haskey(qdict, "vcpu")) {
      int index = qdict_get_try_int(qdict, "vcpu", 0);
      cs = qemu_get_cpu(index);
  } else {
      cs = monitor_get_cpu();
  }

That keeps the current behaviour with no parameter, and
doesn't change the currently selected CPU when you use the
extra parameter.
