To be fair to Yoshiaki, the first 17 patches in his 19-patch series have 
no impact on the operation of QEMU, and even the last two are 
Kemari-only.  I know almost nothing about Kemari so I cannot comment on 
the technical side of those patches, only that it w^Hshouldn't be 
destabilizing.  I made some comments on a couple of patches, so I'm 
inclined to say no as well.

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/91096 should be 
applied in any case, as it is a regression from 0.12.
