A clear 'must have':

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/39291/
  Add a new machine type for qemu 0.12

On top of that, to reduce irq sharing (nice to have):

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/39294/
  virtio: enable msi-x for console+balloon

This bugfix ('must have' IMHO):

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/39311/
  make chardevs specified in config file work

Also useful (nice to have):

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/39202/
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/39201/
  add command line option to set global defaults for properties

Finally the 'default devices' patch series ('must have' IMHO):

  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/39180/ (patch 1/10)

Without that one using -device and -readconfig becomes much harder.

cheers,
