Hi,
Branch created, three patches (2x pvscsi + 1x multiple pci root) cherry-picked from master, pushed.
The smp race fix will follow as soon as it hits master.
Was cherry-picked friday.
I plan to tag 1.8.1 tomorrow or next monday, so the release will be ready in time for qemu 2.3-rc0 which is planned for next tuesday.
Release 1.8.1 tagged & pushed, source tarball uploaded.
cheers, Gerd
