I am having the problem with qemu, as described in the post http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH:-PR-target-42671--Use-Thumb1-GOT-address-loading-sequence-for--%09Thumb2-td27124497.html where accessing cp15 on ARM causes an error:

qemu: fatal: cp15 insn ee1d2f70 

R00=00000000 R01=00000000 R02=00000000 R03=00000000 
R04=00000000 R05=00000000 R06=400821c4 R07=00000000 
R08=00000000 R09=00000000 R10=4008bf0c R11=00000000 
R12=4007f6d0 R13=4007f650 R14=4a1bb3c4 R15=4a1bb3cc 
PSR=60000010 -ZC- A usr32 


According to that post, there are patches which fix this error. Currently I am running:
qemu-arm version 0.12.2

Is there a newer version of qemu which applies these patches? If not, are there other workarounds to solve this problem? Are these patches available to apply myself? 

Thanks,
Raymes
