SUSE adjustments to qemu.conf This patch contains SUSE-specific adjustments to the upstream qemu.conf configuration file. In the future, it might make sense to separate these changes into individual patches (e.g. suse-qemu-conf-secdriver.patch, suse-qemu-conf-lockmgr.patch, etc.), but for now they are all lumped together in this single patch.
