Provided there will be more topics:
 - import kvm headers into qemu, drop #ifdef maze

Otherwise, we can also discuss this based on the patch I'm preparing ATM.

This has come up a few times in the past.

The opposition tends to be that it would make feature development harder 
because you couldn't easily point QEMU at a different set of kernel headers.

These days, so few things change in the KVM interface though that maybe 
it's not the end of the world.

Since this it the only topic for the call, I suggest we cancel and add
it to next week's agenda.

Cheers,

There should be no need to worry, even if for those bits that will
continue to change more frequently. I've included a hopefully easy to
use update mechanism.

PowerPC and future KVM arch will go through the same changes that x86
should be through now. So I would prefer to avoid the mistakes we made
for the latter.
