Note that our version of QEMU is a rather complex mix of 0.8.2 and upstream. I routinely cherry pick upstream improvements

and incorporate them to the codebase. However, I'm also pretty conservative and try to avoid stuff we don't depend on and

which risk breaking other stuff easily so many parts don't get in, or are implemented differently.

Also, many, many things in the Android emulator codebase have very little value for upstream qemu, imho.

Bastien, what specific features are you interested in ? I can still have a look at what would be required to generate the

corresponding upstream patch.

Hi,

What is the step in order to get qemu android merged mainline ?

Send patches.

It's very difficult to merge downstream code unless that entire downstream is committed to working through upstream. I'd suggest encouraging the Android developers to commit to pushing all of the functionality upstream before going down this path.
