[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC V4 04/14] Introduce -accel command option.

From: Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@xxxxxxxxxx>

This option gives the ability to switch one "accelerator" like kvm, xen
or the default one tcg. We can specify more than one accelerator by
separate them by a comma. QEMU will try each one and use the first whose
works.

So,

-accel xen,kvm,tcg

which would try Xen support first, then KVM and finaly tcg if none of
the other works.
