+Normally QEMU loads a configuration file from @var{sysconfdir}/qemu.conf and

A new option, -nodefconfig is introduced to prevent loading from the default config location. Otherwise, two configuration files will be searched for, qemu.conf and target-<TARGET_NAME>.conf. To ensure that the default configuration is overridden by a user specified config, we introduce a two stage option parsing mechanism.
