RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Bug 859447 will add the qemu -machine option from upstream
to qemu in RHEL 6 for the first time.

We have to check this doesn't break libguestfs.  libguestfs
may or may not require a rebuild after qemu has been changed.

I have verified (bug 868793#c3) that libguestfs is
fine after making this change in qemu.

for  libguestfs-1.16.34-2.el6.x86_64 , this bug could be verified, as no problem found during all our test

Hi moli, can we close this one now?  The change seems to have
had no adverse effect on libguestfs.  Just set it to
CLOSED -> [some suitable status] if you agree.

It wouldn't have affected any customer, so no erratum needed.
