[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/4] v2, 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.

The prior version of this patch overloaded "-readconfig ?"
to enable verbose handling.  Here we add a global "-config"
flag which takes [verbose][,nodefault] as options modifying
config file handling.  Note "-nodefconfig" has been removed
and functionally replaced here by the "nodefault" flag option.
