+command line option (fw_cfg) not being treated as opaque and generates error "short-form boolean option 'x' deprecated"
+Description of problem:
+I'm trying to run qemu with `fw_cfg` arguments. With a full example I am trying to provide an ignition configuration a flatcar VM using a 'string' parameter which is JSON (rather than a file parameter).
+
+Running qemu with command line options where the fields have arbitrary data that should be opaque to qemu are being interpreted and cause the command line argument parsing the fail. I have tried putting quotes and double quotes around various parts of the command without success.
+
+
+Sorry, but I haven't tested this with latest (v8.1.0.rc4 / v8.0.4)
+
+Examples:
+
+```# qemu-system-x86_64 -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: warning: short-form boolean option 'b' deprecated
+Please use b=on instead
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: Invalid parameter 'b'
+```
+
+Single quotes around the `string` value:
+```
+# qemu-system-x86_64 -fw_cfg name=z,string='a,b'
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: warning: short-form boolean option 'b' deprecated
+Please use b=on instead
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: Invalid parameter 'b'
+```
+
+Double quotes around the `string` value
+```
+# qemu-system-x86_64 -fw_cfg name=z,string="a,b"
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: warning: short-form boolean option 'b' deprecated
+Please use b=on instead
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: Invalid parameter 'b'
+
+```
+
+Double quotes around the whole `fw_cfg` option value:
+```
+# qemu-system-x86_64 -fw_cfg "name=z,string=a,b"
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: warning: short-form boolean option 'b' deprecated
+Please use b=on instead
+qemu-system-x86_64: -fw_cfg name=z,string=a,b: Invalid parameter 'b'
+```
