Hey Alex,
I have a patch I'm about to send to the mailing list. It allows an
entire machine to be added by the -device argument on the command
line. It is a similar implementation to my first version (vl.c: Allow
sysbus devices to be attached via commandline), but much more generic.
Could you point me to your patches so I can compare? At the moment I
don't have much feedback to my implementation
Thanks,
Alistair
