There are a number of contributors who maintain block drivers (image
formats and protocols). They should be listed in the MAINTAINERS file
so that get_maintainer.pl lists them.
Note that commits are still merged through Kevin or Stefan's block tree
but the block driver sub-maintainers are usually the ones to review
patches.

qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has
access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to
outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the
web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will
point to it!
The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori
<anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois
information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already
references qemu-project.org.
Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on
behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet.
Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org.
Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following
commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are
using the latest URLs:
$ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes
$ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories
$ git submodule update --init

kqemu introduces a number of restrictions on the i386 target. The worst is that
it prevents large memory from working in the default build.
Furthermore, kqemu is fundamentally flawed in a number of ways. It relies on
the TSC as a time source which will not be reliable on a multiple processor
system in userspace. Since most modern processors are multicore, this severely
limits the utility of kqemu.
kvm is a viable alternative for people looking to accelerate qemu and has the
benefit of being supported by the upstream Linux kernel. If someone can
implement work arounds to remove the restrictions introduced by kqemu, I'm
happy to avoid and/or revert this patch.
N.B. kqemu will still function in the 0.11 series but this patch removes it from
the 0.12 series.
Paul, please Ack or Nack this patch.
