That's neat!

AmigaOS can use ES1370 so the via-ac97 patches are not that important now but the other patches would be needed. I hope users won't have to wait until September to try this.

If you're referring to "hw/display/sm501: Implement more 2D raster operations" then it's already
queued in ppc-next. In fact I believe you can re-send it with this series, with my r-b, and whoever
gets to send the PR can send everything at once.

If either Gerd of Phil wants to pick these up I have already acked the pegasos2 changes.

If you want me to get this via qemu-ppc bear in mind that I need to send the PR March 7th
at the latest.


Thanks,


Daniel

The pegasos2 version runs much better and has a better chance to get it to work with KVM on PPC host so this would be a big improvement even if there would be more bugs to fix in upcoming releases but we'll never find those unless people can start using it and report them. More people are interested but less are able to compile and test from git repos and depend on binary distros instead.
