Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] make /usr/bin/qemu the native arch
Management tools for QEMU will have come to rely on existing semantics of /usr/bin/qemu being i386. How about just deprecating it? For example, we could make /usr/bin/qemu be a script with: #!/bin/bash echo warning: $0 is deprecated, use qemu-system-i386 instead exec qemu-system-i386 $@ Changing this for merely cosmetic reasons [...] It's not just cosmetic. I recall you sent me some benchmarks (too bad they didn't make it to the list, and I somehow lost that mail), but they were done on i386 (which remains unaffected). On x86_64, results are different (specially if you have setup kqemu which only works with qemu-system-x86_64). -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] fix build error
This appears to be a remnant of when kqemu was non-free. It broke build for me (not sure under which conditions it can be reproduced, but the fix is obvious, see the patch). -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] make /usr/bin/qemu the native arch
Hi, Shouldn't /usr/bin/qemu be an alias for qemu-system-$(ARCH), where $(ARCH) is the native architecture? Defaulting to i386 doesn't make much sense nowadays, specially since x86_64 is gradually obsoleting it.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] verbose error when /dev/kqemu can't be open
Please can you apply this tiny patch to make /dev/kqemu open failures more
verbose?
It'll help the user distinguish between ENOENT, EPERM and ENXIO, since they
are all common causes of open failure.
