1.7.3.2 stable release planned

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Hi,

I plan to build the next release for the 1.7.2-stable branch, probably
later this week or early next week.

Three patches have been cherry-picked into the branch since 1.7.2.1 has
been released:

# git shortlog rel-1.7.3.1..
Gerd Hoffmann (3):
      apm: fix shutdown
      ahci: add missing check for allocation failure
      fix buildversion.sh

Any other important fixes which should go into the next stable release?

cheers,
  Gerd

I've noticed that the current code fails to build with a parallel make. We've
built the seabios bios.bin binary that way in SUSE and openSUSE for quite
some time, so this is a recently introduced problem. I haven't bisected to
see where the problem got introduced, but I suspect it was from the code
reorganization.

It would be nice to keep the support for parallel builds.

Here's what git bisect points to as the first bad commit:

Author: Kevin O'Connor

build: Don't use vpath makefile directive.
