Fortunately, qemu 2.5 is oldstyle only, and qemu 2.6 is the first newstyle server, and I think I got the worst of the interoperability bugs nailed in 2.6, whereas this series is focusing on the feature enhancements for inclusion in 2.7. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
