Empty cover letters rather defeat their purpose, by the way.
git format-patch's --cover-letter option will generate you a
nice cover letter template including a summary of the patches
in the series and a diffstat.

Anyway, all patches
Reviewed-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
and I've put them into arm-devs.next. Thanks!

A couple of formatting points for future reference,
if you want to send further patches to QEMU in the future:

Your email client is sending patch emails with the 'format=flowed'
attribute, which means that every line in the patch beginning
with a space has an extra space added to it. That means that
if I save the email or if I go and download the version from
patchwork ( http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/205677/ ) it
won't apply. It is also wrapping long lines (as can
be seen in patch 4/6.

I fixed this up this time by running a sed command to fix
up the mangled patchfiles, but it's much easier on reviewers
if you can just send the patches as plain unmangled text
(for example git format-patch and git send-email will send
patches without mangling them.)

thanks again
