Add a flag so it's not listed in -M ? ? For qemu 1.3, libvirt will NOT be reading '-M ?', but instead calling the 'query-machines' QMP command. If you want a machine to be avoided by libvirt, then perhaps it is best to augment the MachineInfo QMP datatype to add an optional field that says whether a particular machine type is stable enough for libvirt's use. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enig986079978AA7BC54550E004E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJQhUOIAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqZHUH+wXDowwvzCWQszQRpUn3e3Do XtctxH09UX5PNtOJaaBaJAYGLZHqaKk6y948JGm6kcAcnkFKfMNL2bK0miuP1Rbt GURUOaEMeZx/8sCXAuFDhN79wocrrLH3ppVIX9JQpsX6ovsqikti+8v8s4jx1IPH 99C1uyE8sk8nnsQkdEVYHRtLy46fgrTBPfJtDFvyrxvSsoqGrhW6058tx1VfghvL QolGQtpx3HKd6DwIDbHAvLv0yVOtVdiepOERnB+F/pDY0jLinrinQ4SWwWbeSqo4 /zqpjqMFurbcSS2FBBG/H3TmQnfCs6sYAnfWSSxFq9Sj1emDuycHoDzzVkjz+wE= =GKMm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig986079978AA7BC54550E004E--
