Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu-kvm: Add CPUID support for VIA CPU

Hi, Jan
    Thank you very much for your advice. That's helpful for me.

If I want to submit a patch for the qemu-kvm-git,  should I use  
"[QEMU-DEVEL][Patch]..." as the subject? Or there are other rules for qemu-kvm 
upstream? If yes, would you like to tell me?. Thanks!

Yes, I will be careful the next time.

OK, I will check it.

OK, I will do it. 
I found that space is used to code indent other than tab, should I follow it or 
use tab instead in my patch?
If I use space, there are some warnings when using scripts/checkpatch.pl to 
validate the patch. Can I ignore them?
