[PATCH v2 2/2] vl: use qmp_device_add() in qemu_create_cli_devices()
Posted by Stefan Hajnoczi 3 months, 3 weeks ago
qemu_create_cli_devices() should use qmp_device_add() to match the
behavior of the QMP monitor. A comment explained that libvirt changes
implementing strict CLI syntax were needed.

Peter Krempa <pkrempa@redhat.com> has confirmed that modern libvirt uses
the same JSON for -device (CLI) and device_add (QMP). Go ahead and use
qmp_device_add().
