I have three fixes in my queue, though none of them is bad enough
to delay the release. However, if you're going to do an -rc3 anyway,
let me know and I'll send a pull request for them.

The bugs fixed are:
* iscsi has an error path where the return value is undefined.
* The bochs block driver has a buggy input validation check that can
  cause an out-of-bounds array read with corrupt images.

Either way is fine with me.
