Ever since the conversion to using only QMP for probing features of qemu 1.2 and newer, we have been unable to detect features that are added only by additional command line options. For example, we'd like to know if '-machine mem-merge=on' (added in qemu 1.5) is present. To do this, we will take advantage of qemu 1.5's query-command-line-parameters QMP call [1]. This patch wires up the framework for probing the command results; if the QMP command is missing, or if a particular command line option does not output any parameters (for example, -net uses a polymorphic parser, which showed up as no parameters as of qemu 1.5), we silently treat that command as having no results.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
