It's not a good path to follow. Tomorrow we'll need to load 300MB
initrds and we'll have to rework this yet again. Meanwhile the
kernel and virtio support demand loading of any image size you'd
want to use.
firmware is totally broken with respect to -M older FWIW.
Well, then this is adding to the brokenness.
fwcfg dma is going to have exactly one user, libguestfs. Much better
to have libguestfs move to some other interface and improve are
users-to-interfaces ratio.
You mean, only one class of users cares about the performance of loading
an initrd. However, you've also argued in other threads how important
it is not to break libvirt even if it means we have to do silly things
(like change help text).
So... why is it that libguestfs has to change itself and yet we should
bend over backwards so libvirt doesn't have to change itself?
