--no-hpet      HPET support is broken and should be disabled.

--rtc-td-hack  Keeps the rtc clock source track time correctly.

 Should we bother having the daemon at all and just link the guestfsd

+Allow swap space from the guest to be used.  Is it a good idea?

+
+Need a way to query a binary or library file for its architecture.
+Using objdump or readelf?
+What about non-ELF files (eg. Windows, BSD).
+
+To do this properly requires some serious logic, eg. to cover Linux
+and Windows we'd need objdump and i686-pc-mingw32-objdump, and more to
+cover a.out, COFF and 64 bit Windows.  Therefore this cannot be done
+inside the daemon, and should be done by a separate, external program
+similar to virt-inspector.
+
+Probably we should go all the way and have virt-inspector able to
+determine kernel and userspace architectures of guests.
