Hi,
Looks like we need a stable release branch for 1.8 and roll out a 1.8.1 release with some fixes for qemu.
Issue #1: support for multiple pci roots.
Issue #2: There is a (not-yet fixed) emulation failure with newer intel processors, apparently triggered by seabios commit 0673b7870063a3affbad9046fb6d385a4e734c19
Thread starts here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-03/msg01140.html
Other known issues in 1.8 which should be addressed in 1.8.1?
cheers, Gerd

I think the PVSCSI fix (bc82fa43) should go in.

I think the PVSCSI fix (bc82fa43) should go in.
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.
More candidates?
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.
cheers, Gerd
