[vfio-users] OVMF + Os X

[francesco dicarlo]

ok, I'm back with other questions...

I've translated all my needs in a wrapper script that adds missing
controllers in libvirt and add attributes...
Problem lies in this line :
-chardev
socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-yos/monitor.sock,server,nowait
-mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control

This is added automagically by libvirt to enable the qemu monitor...
Sadly,with this line I can't seem to boot osx under q35.

When booting via qemu without libvirt monitor, there's one line with :
Apple16x50UARTSync1: Detected 16550AF/C/CF Fifo=16 MaxBaud=115200.

Refers to  -device isa-applesmc,osk="findityourself"...

Seems that libvirt monitor socket and this device conflict thus failing to
boot...

It's not possible to remove the monitor (that is automatically generated)
because libvirt will complain that no monitor showed up shutting down the
vm...

I tried with sed with alternative parameters for chardev but libvirt must
have a monitor attached to the vm.

I'm really out of ideas. Having vms on libvirt and qemu manually started
vms isn't a viable solution for me...

Thanks in advance
