- Update from 5.2.0 to 6.1.0
- Update of rootfile
- Removal of --no-pie patch as the changes are now built into the qemu source files
- Changelog is too long to fully include here. Full details can be read at
https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/
Following are the deprecated options and features from each version.
6.1.0
Using non-persistent backing file with pmem=on is now deprecated.
'-display sdl,window_close=...' should be replaced with '-display sdl,window-close=...'
(i.e. with a minus instead of an underscore between “window” and “close”).
'-no-quit' is deprecated. '-display ...,window-close=off' should be used instead.
The Aspeed swift-bmc machine is deprecated and should be replaced by the
witherspoon-bmc or the romulus-bmc machines.
6.0.0
The --enable-fips option has been deprecated. Consumers wishing to have FIPS
compliance must build QEMU with libcrypt and gnutls, NOT nettle.
The -writeconfig option has been deprecated. The functionality of -writeconfig is
limited and the code does not even try to detect cases where it prints incorrect
syntax (for example if values have a quote in them). It will be removed without
replacement.
Boolean parameters such as share=on / share=off could be written in short form as
share and noshare. This is now deprecated and will cause a warning.
-chardev backend aliases tty and parport are aliases that will be removed. Instead,
the actual backend names serial and parallel should be used.
The delay option for socket character devices is now deprecated.
Userspace local APIC with KVM (-M kernel-irqchip=off)
hexadecimal sizes with scaling multipliers (e.g. 0x20M)
-spice password=string is deprecated now. Use password-secret option instead.
opened property of rng-* objects
loaded property of secret and secret_keyring
MIPS Trap-and-Emulate KVM support

This patch update qemu to version 2.6
For changelogs see:
http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.5http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/2.6
Qemu try to built with bluez, but before version 2.6 bluez was not used
by qemu on IPFire, so I think it is better to disable bluez because
nobody needs it before version 2.6 and our bluez is not the latest
version so I think this will cause more problems than benefits.

As a normal user, it is not possible to use qemu with KVM. This is bad
because it is better when it is possible to start the machine with a
less privileged user. To achieve this a group KVM is created and the
access to /dev/kvm is allowed for this group. So every user in this
group can use qemu with KVM.
This change is also useful for libvirt because the VMs can be started
with user nobody and group kvm.
