But I'd recommend waiting to pull this until after 1.1 opens up. This is the
sort of thing that 1) people are likely to actually use and 2) could use a
full development cycle of testing to get hardened before showing up in a
release.
I'd feel better about pulling this into 1.0 if it was guarded by a configure
option and disabled by default just to enforce that it's an experimental
feature.

The current version of TCI is only activated with configure
--enable-tcg-interpreter
(see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-10/msg02509.html),
so this should be safe for 1.0. And yes, it's still an experimental feature.
Okay, then I really don't have an objection, but would still prefer Blue or
Aurel to Ack it explicitly.
It's up to the maintainers of (Linux) distributions when they will add QEMU with
TCI
for new hosts which were unsupported by native TCG. It won't work automatically
-
they have to add the configure option for it. I have no access to such hosts for
testing,
but offer any help I can give.
Indeed. It's a good feature to have. Just thinking about release stability. I
don't want to ship a brand new feature as part of the 1.0 release and have
people have a bad experience due to it.
