Are you suggesting that kvm header updates go through uq/master? That seems
reasonable to me and is certainly the least amount of change.
So how about code that actually leverages the new headers?
Shared KVM infrastructure should go through uq/master. So changes to
kvm-all.c, linux-headers/* should go through uq/master.
Target specific kvm changes should go through the appropriate submaintainers
tree.
So then if I add some target specific stuff to KVM,
That requires a header update?
I have to
* send pullreq to KVM
* wait for that to be applied
* post a patch to uq/master to update headers
Strictly from a QEMU perspective, we can't depend on APIs that aren't committed
upstream yet.
* wait for that to merge back to qemu.git
* send a pull request to qemu.git
Maybe we need to bring a stripped down version of Linux into qemu.git to make it
easier to simultaneously update both trees... ;-)
right? And then after about 3 months we'll have the feature available ;).
You can always just get Acked-by's from the appropriate maintainers. That's
just as good as going through the tree.
