Make them part of the machine configuration. After all, they are part of the machine configuration, and ACPI, BIOS etc. need to know about all the machine slots anyway. Having said that, I prefer the idea that slot allocation is handled either in Qemu, or in a separate utility called qemu-machine-config (for working with machine configs), or in a library libqemu-machine-config.so. I particularly don't like the idea of arcane machine-dependent slot allocation knowledge living in libvirt, because it needs to be in Qemu anyway for non-libvirt users. No point in having two implementations of something tricky and likely to have machine quirks, if one will do. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
