From c445909e1f3d5722ed26f067bbffed71cbefd711 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: keyval: introduce keyval_parse_into

Allow parsing multiple keyval sequences into the same dictionary.
This will be used to simplify the parsing of the -M command line
option, which is currently a .merge_lists = true QemuOpts group.
