I'd like the ability to explicitly not use any user preferences at
all, rather than having to override each individual setting. This
would make it easier for me to invoke QEMU from libvirt with a predictable
configuration that I can guarnetee to be identical on any host regardless
of how a user my have their preferences setup.

It could also be useful to be able to specify a alternative preferences
file instead of the default $HOME/.qemu/config
