Other files still mentioning git://:

hw/misc/pc-testdev.c (git.kernel.org)
tests/docker/dockerfiles/debian-amd64.docker (anongit.freedesktop.org)

As I haven't regularly used either of those hosting sites, and was too 
lazy to check if I could clone with smart https:, I'll leave it to you 
to do a followup patch if we care.
