One thing that bothers me is that there is a really high rate of change
in the qdev stuff. These series touch a lot of code and therefore cause
quite a lot of conflicts. That concerns me that the long term
maintenance of stable-0.11 is going to be really painful.

The by far worst offender is the property refactoring, and that one has seen no fundamental changes since quite a while. Lots of little tweaks though, mostly due to conflicts and due to devices being converted to udev introducing build failures.

btw: blueswirl converted more sparc stuff to qdev, thus adding more build failures with the property rework patch applied. http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=qemu-kraxel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/qdev.v13 has fixes (four topmost patches), you might want to cherry pick them if you find your tree not building.
There's more too..  I've got it all straightened out in staging.
