System emulation
Incompatible changes
Future incompatible changes
- Three options are using different names on the command line and in configuration file. In particular:
- The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
- The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
- The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
- Starting with QEMU xyz.jkl, -readconfig will standardize on the name for the command line option.

Block devices in system emulation
- Many fixes to AHCI emulation.
Various
Block devices and tools
- Support for Archipelago as a QEMU block backend
- QEMU is more resistent against failure of large allocations in the block layer
- Support for Parallels images larger than 2TB.
TCG
- In icount mode, it is possible to slow down emulation to match the requested CPU frequency (thus ensuring that the host and guest clocks remain aligned). This is enabled with "-icount N,align=on".
Tracing
- QEMU provides a SystemTap script that outputs binary trace data, for use in flight-recorder mode. The resulting traces can be parsed with QEMU's simpletrace.py script (using the --no-header command-line option).
