[ANNOUNCE] QEMU 8.1.1 Stable released

[Michael Tokarev]

Hi everyone,

The QEMU v8.1.1 stable release is now available.

You can grab the tarball from our download page here:

  https://www.qemu.org/download/#source

v8.1.1 is now tagged in the official qemu.git repository, and the
stable-8.1 branch has been updated accordingly:

  https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commits/stable-8.1?ref_type=heads

This update contains a pile of fixes for various architectures/subsystems,
fixing a number of various bugs.  Unfortunately some known bugs remain
unfixed still, and hopefully will be addressed in subsequent 8.1.x releases.
In particular, the following issues (which exists in 8.1.0 release too)
remain unfixed in this release:

   https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1826
   https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1834
   https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1846

The fix for these are available (which is commit 0d58c66068 "softmmu: Use
async_run_on_cpu in tcg_commit", thanks to Richard Henderson), but it uncovers
problems in other areas (eg https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1866
with at least two different issues) for which there's no fix in qemu master
branch yet, so I had to delay inclusion of this one to stable-8.1.

Thank you everyone who has been involved and helped with the stable series!
