emulator in 2.4.0

target-i386: Register QOM properties for feature flags
Most other targets gained this syntax even earlier in 1.4.1
commit 1590bbcb02921dfe8e3cf66e3a3aafd31193babf

cpu: Implement CPUClass::parse_features() for the rest of CPUs
CPUs who do not provide their own implementation of feature parsing
will treat each option as a QOM property and set it to the supplied
value.
There appears no reason to keep supporting "+|-feature" syntax,
given the current minimum QEMU version.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
