[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Unlike real hardware, vmport needs access to the CPU registers to handle iomem read and writes. So add an explicit cpu_synchronize_state call, otherwise vmmouse can not work with KVM.

Ack (qemu-kvm carries a similar patch).

But please grant your patches some proper titles.

Now that I look at it... yes.
Except that it does not yet have cpu_synchronize_state and thus is broken for
vmport_ioport_write, the return value written to EAX is lost.

Sorry, I am still figuring out how to write commit messages that git format-patch
handles in a good way (as well as the most sane way to use it in
general).

Normally qemu-kvm catches such things when merging from upstream.

This rule is simple, just write your commit messages in the form

Title
<blank line>
Description...


Moreover, your mail client is configured to inject "Mail-Followup-To"
into your postings. This quickly causes troubles. E.g., it suggested my
client to send myself a mail when replying to yours.
