Hi, this is a prototype of something I've around for some time. Basically it is about adding new appliances in addition to the main one currently used and kept up-to-date automatically: this way it is possible to create new appliances with extra packages, to be used in specific contexts (like virt-rescue, with more network/recovery tools) without filling the main appliance. It's still

Doing qemu feature detection in the direct backend takes ~100ms because we need to run `qemu -help' and `qemu -devices ?', and each of those interacts with glibc's very slow link loader. Fixing the link loader is really hard. Instead memoize the output of those two commands. This patch series first separates all the code dealing with qemu into a separate module (src/qemu.c) and

Various changes/fixes to use smaller stack frames. Rich.
