[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1798434] [NEW] [Feature Request] Automatic device configuration discovery

[Ryan Govostes]

Public bug reported:

Would it be possible to have a script that enumerates the device tree of
a Linux host and generates a qemu command line that would recreate it
under emulation? The user would have to customize the arguments (for
instance to point to disk image files), but it would take a lot of the
guesswork out.

Similarly, there could be information that can be gleaned from the
kernel build config that would help with configuration.
