Hi qemu-devel;

We're using qemu to emulate a platform that uses Intel 82574, 
and 82571 based NICs (which use the e1000e driver).  AFAICT, 
an emulation of 82574/82571 devices is not available in qemu.

Couple of questions:

1) is someone already working on a 82574/82571 emulation? 
   (and if so, can you point me to a repo?)

2) would a 82574/82571 emulation be welcome into upstream 
   qemu?

(This'd be the first intended-for-upstream qemu work I've done, so 
any other advice, or pointers that you have would be appreciated.)

Thanks.
