Bug description:
This is feature request.

I want qemu (kvm) to boot kernel via -kernel switch, but I want to specify 
kernel as image.is/path/kernel so qemu should recognize .iso image format and 
find specified file (as GRUB does). This will allow me to boot livecd with 
specific parameters directly from script.

Now, I mount -o loop .iso image and specify -kernel xxx in the script. I think 
it's job for qemu, not for script. It will simplify custom bootings of livecd.
