KVM: support version reported by 1.0 



This of course was working for all the rcs, but broke with 1.0 itself.

In addition:
  - split between running kvm --version and parsing its output
  - unittest parsing for various known --help outputs
  - updated NEWS file
  - happy 2012 wishes
  - the hope to finish this patch before it's time to say happy easter
    :)

-rtc [base=utc|localtime|date][,clock=host|vm][,driftfix=none|slew]
set the RTC base and clock, enable drift fix for clock ticks (x86 only)
-icount [N|auto]
enable virtual instruction counter with 2^N clock ticks per
instruction
-watchdog i6300esb|ib700
enable virtual hardware watchdog [default=none]
-watchdog-action reset|shutdown|poweroff|pause|debug|none
action when watchdog fires [default=reset]
-echr chr set terminal escape character instead of ctrl-a
-virtioconsole c
set virtio console
-show-cursor show cursor
-tb-size n set TB size
-incoming p prepare for incoming migration, listen on port p
-nodefaults don't create default devices
-chroot dir chroot to dir just before starting the VM
-runas user change to user id user just before starting the VM
-prom-env variable=value
set OpenBIOS nvram variables
-semihosting semihosting mode
-old-param old param mode
-readconfig <file>
-writeconfig <file>
read/write config file
-nodefconfig
do not load default config files at startup
-trace [events=<file>][,file=<file>]
specify tracing options
During emulation, the following keys are useful:
ctrl-alt-f toggle full screen
ctrl-alt-n switch to virtual console 'n'
ctrl-alt toggle mouse and keyboard grab
When using -nographic, press 'ctrl-a h' to get some help.

QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.1 (kvm-72), Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
usage: qemu [options] [disk_image]
'disk_image' is a raw hard image image for IDE hard disk 0
Standard options:
-M machine select emulated machine (-M ? for list)
-cpu cpu select CPU (-cpu ? for list)
-fda/-fdb file use 'file' as floppy disk 0/1 image
-hda/-hdb file use 'file' as IDE hard disk 0/1 image
-hdc/-hdd file use 'file' as IDE hard disk 2/3 image
-cdrom file use 'file' as IDE cdrom image (cdrom is ide1 master)
-drive [file=file][,if=type][,bus=n][,unit=m][,media=d][,index=i]
[,cyls=c,heads=h,secs=s[,trans=t]][,snapshot=on|off]
[,cache=on|off][,format=f][,boot=on|off]
use 'file' as a drive image
-mtdblock file use 'file' as on-board Flash memory image
-sd file use 'file' as SecureDigital card image
-pflash file use 'file' as a parallel flash image
-boot [a|c|d|n] boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c), CD-ROM (d), or network (n)
-snapshot write to temporary files instead of disk image files
-no-frame open SDL window without a frame and window decorations
-alt-grab use Ctrl-Alt-Shift to grab mouse (instead of Ctrl-Alt)
-no-quit disable SDL window close capability
-no-fd-bootchk disable boot signature checking for floppy disks
-m megs set virtual RAM size to megs MB [default=128]
-smp n set the number of CPUs to 'n' [default=1]
-nographic disable graphical output and redirect serial I/Os to console
-portrait rotate graphical output 90 deg left (only PXA LCD)
-k language use keyboard layout (for example "fr" for French)
-audio-help print list of audio drivers and their options
-soundhw c1,... enable audio support
and only specified sound cards (comma separated list)
use -soundhw ? to get the list of supported cards
use -soundhw all to enable all of them
-localtime set the real time clock to local time [default=utc]
-full-screen start in full screen
-win2k-hack use it when installing Windows 2000 to avoid a disk full bug
-usb enable the USB driver (will be the default soon)
-usbdevice name add the host or guest USB device 'name'
-name string set the name of the guest
Network options:
-net nic[,vlan=n][,macaddr=addr][,model=type]
create a new Network Interface Card and connect it to VLAN 'n'
-net user[,vlan=n][,hostname=host]
connect the user mode network stack to VLAN 'n' and send
hostname 'host' to DHCP clients
-net tap[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,ifname=name][,script=file][,downscript=dfile]
connect the host TAP network interface to VLAN 'n' and use the
network scripts 'file' (default=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifup)
and 'dfile' (default=/etc/kvm/kvm-ifdown);
use '[down]script=no' to disable script execution;
use 'fd=h' to connect to an already opened TAP interface
-net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,listen=[host]:port][,connect=host:port]
connect the vlan 'n' to another VLAN using a socket connection
-net socket[,vlan=n][,fd=h][,mcast=maddr:port]
connect the vlan 'n' to multicast maddr and port
-net none use it alone to have zero network devices; if no -net option
is provided, the default is '-net nic -net user'
-tftp dir allow tftp access to files in dir [-net user]
