Hi Saransh. Please add the list for these kind of questions. I've converted your
HTML mail, but going forward, the list will eat it, so please use text only.

Currently the ball is in my court to re-roll the RFC v2 patches [1] based on
feedback from Dan. I've implemented all/most of it, but I'm still debugging some
issues with the result.

If you haven't seen it already, check out my LPC talk [2]. The QEMU patches
could use a lot of love. Mostly, I have little/no motivation until upstream
shows an interest because I don't have time currently to make sure I don't break
vs. upstream. If you want more details here, I can provide them, and I will Cc
the qemu-devel mailing list; the end of the LPC talk [2] does have a list.
