So now we're avoiding new dependencies. :-) It was more of an annoyance in internal development as we were frequently changing the device tree to configure device assignment and such. For mainline QEMU the long-term plan should be to get rid of the static device tree entirely, and to avoid doing configuration that way in the first place, so it's not that big of a deal to keep both .dts and .dtb around until then. -Scott
