Eric, here are the series of patches that are posted from my side for
the very last time (2-3 months old).
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg06324.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg06326.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg06325.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg06327.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-03/msg06328.html

I expect that they face merge conflicts on latest master, I'll re-base
them and send sometime today.


Thanks,
