Not really. I guess a generic key/value pair is sufficient for most things (base address, model number, etc). The trickier cases are where devices refer to each other: PCI, usb, IRQ lines, DMA channels, etc. ie. anything where the existing _init function returns a value. I guess you could use the same key/value mechanism, and allow the value to be an "object". The really OTT method is to embed a python interpreter or something and do the machine init that way. I'm not seriously suggesting that though. Paul _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
