How can I add some options to qemu command line when a kvm guest starts up from libvirtd??

# virsh edit vm-name

1. change first line from <domain type='kvm'> to <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>

2. add

qemu:commandline <qemu:arg value='-acpitable'/> <qemu:arg value='file=/path/to/SLIC.BIN'/> </qemu:commandline>

before </domain> tag

3. if you need qemu options for adding SLIC table - also you need patch QEMU to add workaround for windows SLIC processing bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1248758
