[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 0/5] cleanup drive handling.

[Gerd Hoffmann]

  Hi,

This patch series cleans up the drive handling in qemu.  It removes the
drives_table and the drives_opt table and replaces them with linked
lists.  The silly table indexing stuff is gone.

It adds the ability to name drives using id=.

It also adds a new QemuOpts framework to store parameters from the
command line and switches -drive over to it.

Changes in v3:
  * added QemuOpts.
  * fix the "#if 0" 'ed drives_table conversion leftover.
  * fix some s/name=/id=/ leftovers.

Future plans:

While qdev-ifying virtual disk drivers block/*.c) make them lookup the
BlockDriverState using the id.

cheers,
  Gerd
