Hi Alex,

Thanks for pushing this forward!  Hopefully this will finally kill off
qemu-kvm.git for good.

I think this series is going to have to wait for 1.3 to open up.  We
have a very short release window for this release and I'd feel a lot
more comfortable having such a significant feature spend some time in
the development cycle getting testing/review.

I'd like to see a few Reviewed-by's too for this series before it goes
in.  I expect they won't be hard to get but I also expect it will take a
few more revisions of this series to get there.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
