[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v4 00/23] qdev path reworks & basic device state visualization

[Jan Kiszka]

This is v4 of this series. Besides small fixes, it's main focus is on
the groundwork for the visualization command: qdev path usability.

The significant changes are:
 - drop many of the inconsistent or ambiguous qtree abbreviations
 - devices can now be address via unique ID (no '/' allowed here) or an
   absolute path (must start with '/')
 - buses remain addressable via their ambiguous local name (mostly to
   avoid libvirt breakages) or their absolute path
 - the per-bus instance numbers introduced in this series are now
   printed consistently
 - monitor command completion inside option lists is added
   (allows to expand "device_add ...,bus=" and "drive=")
 - HMP commands can now have their own argument set (not yet urgently
   needed for device_show but likely already useful for other commands)

Git url as usual:

Thanks once again for comments. Hope we can soon agree on a mergable
version for 0.13.
