Time to cut a new release?

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Hi,

A bunch of new stuff has been added to master since the last version, 
time to release a new one?  Especially I'd like to see qemu get a 
seabios update, and anthony prefers a release instead of a git snapshot 
for that.

cheers,
   Gerd

What's left in order to enable CONFIG_AHCI by default too?  I'd really 
prefer not to carry a custom config for QEMU if it's possible.

Maybe this is a good time to coordinate a release around the next QEMU 
release too.  I'm guessing that October would be a pretty good time to 
freeze on a new SeaBIOS so if there was an October release, that would 
work very well for us.

I'm okay with defaulting AHCI on.  The 32bit trampolining could
theoretically be a problem, but there have been no trouble reports to
date.

I'm okay with that.  We could probably arrange a release even sooner.

I think that AHCI on would be good. What about ATA DMA and ATA 32bit PIO?
