2016-06-18Adding disk io throttling options available in qemu 2.6.0Jamie McClelland
2016-06-06allow down() script to complete even with errorsJamie McClelland
otherwise it is impossible to fully de-configure a guest that has been partially de-configured (e.g. it has been killed).

2015-03-19update to work with jessiedevelopDaniel Kahn Gillmor
around 3.15, the linux kernel stopped parsing arguments passed to it after a -- argument: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=51e158c12aca3c9ac63988611a97c05109b14dc9 This breaks the usual debian-installer approach of putting kernel arguments that you want to persist in the install after the -- argument. We work around this by just putting the arguments we want to persist both before and after the --. yuck.

2015-01-22add sgabios, for serial biosMatt Taggart
the 'serial graphics adapter' bios optionrom can direct early pre-bootloader bios messages (like ipxe output, boot menu, etc) to serial.

"Note: The legacy format '-boot drives' is still supported but its use is discouraged as it may be removed from future versions."

2013-09-07enable booting the guest from a local kernel directlyDaniel Kahn Gillmor
the user in control of a kvm-manager guest can now choose a kernel to boot directly by placing two files (symlinks are fine) at: ~/vms/$VMNAME/kernel ~/vms/$VMNAME/initrd This is by analogy with ~/vms/$VMNAME/cd.iso. If those two files are present, then the kvm guest will boot directly to the provided kernel rather than doing BIOS emulation that hands off control to the MBR of the first emulated disks. In this case, the first line of the contents of /etc/sv/kvm/env/CMDLINE will be passed as the kernel parameters, and no bootloader will be run.

2013-08-08enable the use of more than 4 disks (HDA through HDZ)Daniel Kahn Gillmor
note that this introduces a dependency on bash, since it uses a bashism.
2013-07-18boot=on is deprecated in wheezy, but squeeze needs it.Daniel Kahn Gillmor
despite -boot=c, squeeze's kvm will not boot the first disk if it does not have boot=on. So we have this hacky check to see if we need it.
