I thought the general sense here was that since emulating the full device is much more complicated than driving the KVM part, the integration with the virt board should go in via this series, and the emulation should build on top of that? Of course, if the full emulation series is almost ready to be merged that's a different story. It just felt like both patch series have stalled somehow, and I would like to see what we can do to get this stuff moving again. > The first patch from the mentioned series is already in master; Peter told me that he doesn't want > to add the complete GICv3 before qemu 2.4 is released: > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2015-06/msg04171.html > So waiting... > Fair enough. -Christoffer
