Indeed.

Also true...
I do wonder if the correct fix in the longer term would be to deal only
in "cmdline" internally but to add a "user friendliness" layer on the top
which will take individual parameters and use them to build the correct sort
of command line for the particular guest you're running... Either a "wizard"
of some sort, or something in the tools.
In the meantime, I don't know... We should document the use of the extra=
parameter a bit better. Maybe we could also introduce a new "cmdline"
variable so that folks don't get confused between the two styles of setting
up a VM...
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers!
