Sorry, I was a bit behind getting it posted. I've put up a staging tree here: https://github.com/mdroth/qemu/commits/stable-2.7-staging I'm tentatively planning on posting the initial tree November 7th, setting the freeze for November 11th, and the release for the 16th. I saw your series regarding 2.6<->2.7 CPU migration and had also been hoping to get it sorted for 2.7.1, so let me know if we should consider tweaking the dates. > > -- > David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code > david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
