[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 3/3] Load global config files by default (v2)

[Anthony Liguori]

A new option, -nodefconfig is introduced to prevent loading from the default
config location.  Otherwise, two configuration files will be searched for,
qemu.conf and target-<TARGET_NAME>.conf.

To ensure that the default configuration is overridden by a user specified
config, we introduce a two stage option parsing mechanism.

 - Introduce two stage option parsing to make sure global config file is
   overridden by command line options
