Generally, you can't just break things and then later fix them. You need
to keep things building in each commit you make, for bisectability.

Also may I propose that we continue these cleanup discussions once we're
in Hard Freeze next week? There's still actual features and bug fixes to
be reviewed until then.

Further I notice that Alex and the qemu-ppc list were not CC'ed on
patches 5-6. You may find the following useful to automate this:

$ git config sendemail.cccmd \
  "scripts/get_maintainer.pl --nogit-fallback"
