Signed-off-by: Guido Trotter <ultrotter@google.com>Reviewed-by: Michael Hanselmann <hansmi@google.com>
make _{Generate,Execute}KVMRuntime accept kvm help
Currently kvm --help is called twice at instance startup, this makessure it's called only once.
kvm: make auxiliary functions accept a kvm path
This will be used to be able to customize the path in an hv parameter.
Also fix two comments that still mentioned version-based checking.
Add KVM machine version as hv param
This is needed in case an instance must be booted with an exact type ofmachine version (due to e.g. outdated drivers). If this hv paramexplicitly defined (during instance creation/modification) then the kvmprocess will be started having this version for the -M option. Otherwise...
kvm: simplify _GetMachineVersion
Use a multiline regexp rather than a single line one, and then splitlines in the code.
Allow -soundhw option to kvm
For all of us that love to listen to music on our kvm virtual machines,the -soundhw option is paramount.
kvm: support usb devices
All in one go, comma separated usb devices of all types.
kvm: Add kvm_extra parameter
As requested in Issue 261 and many other times.
kvm: Add -vga option
As requested in Issue 69.
kvm: use help based feature detection
As discussed on the list some people backport features to different kvmversions, making the version based detection system unreliable. Wechange wherever we can to detection on the help output.
This also fixes Issue 250...
