I guess this may affect the qemu driver in future ... Thanks to Markus Armbruster for bringing this to my/our attention. commit 80f52a6694423da7a40e2ec39e14a5817184c7ef Author: Jan Kiszka <> Date: Sat Jul 23 12:39:46 2011 +0200 Deprecate -M command line options Superseded by -machine. Therefore, this patch removes -M from the help list and pushes -machine at the same place in the output. commit 9052ea6bf4962b1342aa56d4341bb55176ed9e45 Author: Jan Kiszka <> Date: Sat Jul 23 12:38:37 2011 +0200 Generalize -machine command line option -machine somehow suggests that it selects the machine, but it doesn't. Fix that before this command is set in stone. Actually, -machine should supersede -M and allow to introduce arbitrary per-machine options to the command line. That will change the internal realization again, but we will be able to keep the user interface stable.
