[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 4/7] cpu model bug fixes and definition corrections

[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.

Note: other CLI flag schemes have been discussed at length
to accommodate this option.  However given the constraints
of the existing user interface, a solution which minimally
impacts the user is ultimately required.
