[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/10] Make some devices optional

[Blue Swirl]

Disabling some devices from build is a frequently requested feature.
Provide means to disable vmware_vga, vmmouse and HPET.

Blue Swirl (10):
  vmware_vga: refactor device creation
  qdev: add creation function that may fail
  pci: add creation functions that may fail
  x86,MIPS: make vmware_vga optional
  vmport: convert to qdev
  vmmouse: convert to qdev
  isa: add creation function that may fail
  x86: make vmmouse optional
  sysbus: add creation function that may fail
  hpet: make optional

Long patch series without proper threading are a PITA to review.
git-send-email adds the necessary headers automatically.  Could you try
using it?  Thanks.

Would be nice for someone to put up a quick wiki page with a short 
tutorial on git-send-email (under a SubmittingPatches) page.
