@var{discard} is one of "ignore" (or "off") or "unmap" (or "on") and controls whether @dfn{discard} (also known as @dfn{trim} or @dfn{unmap}) requests are ignored or passed to the filesystem. Some machine types may not support discard requests.

spec but is traditional QEMU behavior.
+@item key-delay-ms
+
+Set keyboard delay, for key down and key up events, in milliseconds.
+Default is 1. Keyboards are low-bandwidth devices, so this slowdown
+can help the device and guest to keep up and not lose events in case
+events are arriving in bulk. Possible causes for the latter are flaky
+network connections, or scripts for automated testing.
