With respect to 0.15, this bit of code is totally isolated from everything
else. Worst case scenario, we just disable it on platforms where it doesn't
work. It presents no real risk to the stability of the release.
As you've seen, it can break builds. Why not wait for 0.16? The code came in
more than 2 months after the soft feature freeze, which was specifically for
big features like this, no?
I just sent out a patch that should fix the build issue. Let's see what
it takes to resolve this before we talk about disabling for 0.16.
Again, there's zero risk to QEMU for having this enabled so if we can
resolve the build issues, and I don't see why we can't, then there
should be no real problem here.
