On my machine, a guest fails to boot if it has a sound card, but not
graphical device/display is configured, because pulseaudio fails to
initialize since it can't access $HOME.
A workaround is removing the audio device, however on ARM boards there
isn't any option to do that, so -nographic always fails.
Set QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none if no <graphics> are configured. Unfortunately
this has massive test suite fallout.
Add a qemu.conf parameter nographics_allow_host_audio, that if enabled
will pass through QEMU_AUDIO_DRV from sysconfig (similar to
vnc_allow_host_audio)
The implicit IDE, USB, and video controllers provided by the PIIX3
chipset in the pc-* machinetypes are not present on other
machinetypes, so we shouldn't be doing the special checking for
them. This patch places those validation checks into a separate
function that is only called for machine types that have a PIIX3 chip
(which happens to be the i440fx-based pc-* machine types).
One qemuxml2argv test data file had to be changed - the
pseries-usb-multi test had included a piix3-usb-uhci device, which was
being placed at a specific address, and also had slot 2 auto reserved
for a video device, but the pseries virtual machine doesn't actually
have a PIIX3 chip, so even if there was a piix3-usb-uhci driver for
it, the device wouldn't need to reside at slot 1 function 2. I just
changed the .argv file to have the generic slot info for the two
devices that results when the special PIIX3 code isn't executed.
Currently, -device xxx still doesn't work well for ppc64 platform.
It's better use legacy USB option with default for ppc64.
