[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/4] cpu model corrections/updates: add verbose config file handling

[john cooper]

Failure by qemu to open a default config file isn't cause to
error exit -- it just quietly continues on.   After puzzling
issues with otherwise opaque config file locations and
startup handling numerous times, some help from qemu seemed
justified.

In the case of a "?" pseudo filename arg to -readconfig,
verbose open of all config files will be enabled.  Normal
handling of config files is otherwise unaffected by this
option.
