Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH] tests/qemu: Add program for tracing and analyzing boot times.

[Sorry the cover letter is after the patch, but I couldn't work out how to attach something to a cover letter in git send-email.] This commit adds a program that measures the appliance boot process, trying to determine which bits take longest. It produces output similar to that attached. This patch is not quite finished yet, but I think it demonstrates a few points already, those points being that SeaBIOS is really slow and qemu has a lot of overhead.
