Prefer bootindex=N option for -device over the old way -boot ORDER possibly accompanied with boot=on option for -drive. This gives us full control over which device will actually be used for booting guest OS. Moreover, if qemu doesn't support boot=on, this is the only way to boot of certain disks in some configurations (such as virtio disks when used together IDE disks) without transforming domain XML to use per device boot elements.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
