Ian Campbell once mentioned his trick to debug QEMU (following
paragraphs quoted from his email):

=====================================================================
When I have an issue with qemu I often specify the device model in my
guest configuration as a script containing:
       echo $@ > /tmp/qemu-dm
       sleep 1h

Then immediately after running "xl create" I can examine /tmp/qemu-dm
and run the qemu by hand in the foreground, or under gdb etc. (there is
a timeout in xl waiting for qemu to announce itself so you need to be
reasonably prompt...)
=====================================================================

Wei.
