[Qemu-devel] current (2014-03-27) trivial patches

[Michael Tokarev]

Hello.

I weren't able to process -trivial patches regularly for a while,
and we are now past 2.0-rc1 schedule, which means hard freeze and
bugfix-only mode, as far as I can see.

Current queue can be seen at

 http://git.corpit.ru/?p=qemu.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/trivial-patches-next

(I rebased it to current master).

It contains:

 - adding missing 'static' attributes series by Stefan Weil,
   which is safe to go for 2.0

 - a few documentation changes/fixes, which is definitely safe for 2.0

 - bugfix for KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl, which should go to 2.0

 - series by Peter which tries to avoid shifting into sign bit,
   which has been reviewed and looks safe, but I'm not sure if
   it's okay for 2.0 (it doesn't hurt to keep it out for now)

 - conversion of -m to QemuOpts, for which I unfortunately don't
   have good reason to go to 2.0 currently

 - 2 patches left from series by Prasad Joshi, which are safe for 2.0.

I think that except of -m-to-QemuOpts conversion, everything should
go to 2.0, maybe that one too (Cc'ing Igor for that as well).

I'm about to prepare pull request, but want to hear some opinions
first, even for such trivial ;) things, because I weren't following
development lately.

Thanks,

/mjt

It should be fine if -m-to-QemuOpts goes in 2.1 early.
