This seems to be a general dynamic: the x86 pc machine works via -device options (or is changed so it can work that way); and then people propose dropping/deprecating/etc the config options that work with onboard devices, without providing clear solutions/instructions on how the command line needs to change/etc for the mass of boards which are not the x86 pc machine and which do have a lot of onboard devices which can't be handled via -device. So my gut reaction to the "we should deprecate -global" suggestions in this thread was a bit "here we go again"... What works for x86 or even "what is sufficient for libvirt" doesn't necessarily cover all the cases. thanks -- PMM
