Package: kvm
Version: 85+dfsg-1
As of version 85, "kvm -help" no longer reports the availability of the
"boot={on,off}" option, which causes libvirt to assume it is not
available. This in turn causes booting from virtio block devices to
fail. This patch, taken from the qemu-kvm git tree's commit
d7580e4dc3d10161fbcd591105af99d1cac2e370, fixes the problem for me.

Subject: [PATCH] Re-add -drive boot= parameter help text
Small regression. libvirt determines the use of the boot= flag by looking
at the helptext. This flag is required for booting off virtio-blk devices.
The description was lost in the last upstream merge; this patch re-adds it.
