Qemu on Windows fails to parse absolute file path in -acpitable switch Description of problem: I expect qemu-system-x86_64.exe to navigate to the path provided with -acpitable switch and to try to parse it. Instead, Qemu prints: "can't open file C: No such file or directory" if provided with absolute path. Qemu thinks "C:" itself is a file with acpi table. However, Qemu correctly processes files with relative path. If I run this command to try to parse file COPYING bundled in default qemu build: `qemu-system-x86_64.exe -acpitable "file=copying"` Qemu says: `qemu-system-x86_64.exe: -acpitable file=copying: warning: ACPI table has wrong length, header says 1313284128, actual size 17992 bytes` Then it proceeds to boot BIOS, as usual. Steps to reproduce: 1. Run `qemu-system-x86_64.exe -acpitable "file=C:\temp\temp.txt"` 2. Experience "can't open file C: No such file or directory" error message returning you to the command prompt. No BIOS screen. 3. Run `qemu-system-x86_64.exe -acpitable "file=copying"` 4. Experience insignificant warning and then a normal BIOS screen.
