Thank you. I should note that Igor suggested / requested changes for patches #2 and #3; the sub-threads start at http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-12/msg00695.html msg-id: <20161206115038.4495a217@nial.brq.redhat.com> http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-12/msg00706.html msg-id: <20161206124906.76a41896@nial.brq.redhat.com> I was about to rework the patches based on his feedback. Should we resume those discussions? > I'd prefer Paolo to review > and merge broadcast SMI stuff as appropriate. Paolo, makes sense? If it helps, I can split the series into two "waves", and deal only with fw_cfg first. Thanks!
