Add cache=unsafe parameter to -drive
Usually the guest can tell the host to flush data to disk. In some cases wedon't want to flush though, but try to keep everything in cache.
So let's add a new cache value to -drive that allows us to set the cachepolicy to most aggressive, disabling flushes. We call this mode "unsafe",...
Fix error handling in qemu_read_config_file
We need to close the file even in error case. While at it, make the callerscatch all kind of errors. ENOENT is allowed for default config files, theyare optional.

virtio-9p: Create a syntactic shortcut for the file-system pass-thru
Currently the commandline to create a virtual-filesystem pass-through betweenthe guest and the host is as follows:#qemu -fsdev fstype,id=ID,path=path/to/share \ -device virtio-9p-pci,fsdev=ID,mount_tag=tag \...

qemu-config: qemu_read_config_file() reads the normal config file
Introduce a new function qemu_read_config_file which reads the VM configurationfrom a config file. Unlike qemu_config_parse it doesn't take a open file but afilename and reduces code duplication as a side effect....
qemu-config: Make qemu_config_parse more generic

Make qemu-config available for tools
To be able to use config files for blkdebug, we need to make these functionsavailable in the tools. This involves moving two functions that can only bebuilt in the context of the emulator.

Both functions report errors nicely enough now, no need for additionalmessages.
