  Hi,

Yes, the user build the machine using the command line and monitor
(or, in 2017, the machine configuration file),

Considering pbrook just posted a machine config for arm, I think it
would be rather sad if pc wasn't converted to it by 2017...

It shouldn't last until 2017, but the process isn't that trivial.
Some qemu code / control flow needs serious restruction until it is in a
state that creating the devices from a fdt can actually work.

Drivers don't have indexes and buses but we specify it on the -drive
line. -drive is convenient syntax. It stops being convenient when you
force it to be two options.

One more issue: -drive also mixes host and guest configuration. These must be separated too.

cheers,
  Gerd
