With this patch we can have
-c --cpus
-m --mem
-d --disk
-k --kernel
-i --initrd
which is more consistent and easy to remember.
The patch also frees up -s, -g option.
Ingo suggestied
'''
The debug options should probably be concentrated under a --debug option
anyway, to allow things like:
--debug single-step,ioport
Even if the debug options are kept they should be streamlined along
the same
pattern:
>> --debug-single-step Enable single stepping
>> --debug-ioport Enable ioport debugging
But having a --debug option that recognizes all the debug flags would
be nicer.
It would also allow future enhancements to group debug features, like:
--debug all # turn on everything and the kitchen sink
for early hangs
--debug all,-single-step # turn on everything except single-step
debugging
--debug nonverbose # turn on all non-noisy debug options we
have
Maybe even:
--debug memcheck
... could run kvm under valgrind automatically - that way we can hide
any secondary tool complexities from the user and turn those tools into
simple debug options :-)
'''
Let's do this --debug option consolidation later.
