None of the folloing had qemu-stable in CC. Is this not stable material? In general I send less and less patches to qemu-stable as we get closer to the new release, because I'm not sure anymore if they apply.

Feel free to send it to qemu-stable. However, the bug was only visible with virtio 1. > edec47c main-loop: fix qemu_notify_event for aio_notify optimization Part of the above AioContext series. > deb809e memory: count number of active VGA logging clients Not this one, it's new in 2.5. > ab28bd2 rcu: actually register threads that have RCU read-side critical sections Probably has conflicts, but can be sent to qemu-stable. > 9172f42 qemu-char: handle EINTR for TCP character devices Can be sent to qemu-stable if it applies to 2.4.
