Subject: [Qemu-devel] [Bug 1502613] [NEW] [Feature Request] Battery Status / Virtual Battery
Date: Sun, 04 Oct 2015 13:12:53 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151004131253.1871.94138.malonedeb@wampee.canonical.com> (raw)

Public bug reported:

When using virtualization on notebooks heavily then virtual machines do
not realize that they're running on a notebook device causing high power
consumption because they're not switching into a optimized "laptop
mode". This leads to the circumstance that they are trying to do things
like defragmentation / virtus scan / etc. while the host is still
running on batteries.

So it would be great if QEMU / KVM would have support for emulating
"Virtual Batteries" to guests causing them to enable power-saving
options like disabling specific services / devices / file operations
automatically by OS.

Optionally a great feature would be to set virtual battery's status
manually. For example: Current charge rate / charging / discharging /
...
