https://git.kernel.org/cgit/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git/commit/?h=uq/master&id=8c409e659bc1373fab49a277bb5dc71babb73551

Sync with qemu.git does not happen after every patch though. If you are
working on kvm parts using qemu-kvm.git uq/master branch will make sure
that you are working on most up to date kvm bits. If you work depends on
something that is not in qemu-kvm.git then let kvm maintainers know and
we will send pull request to Anthony earlier.
