Here are the current pending ppc and spapr related patches for
qemu-2.7. Given the freeze status, these are all bugfixes, with two
exceptions:
* There's some final rework of the vcpu hotplug model. Specifically
we add spapr specific code on the generic basis Igor established
to make cpu_index stable for pseries-2.7 and later machine types.
- This allows us to remove the limitation that cpu cores had to
be inserted in linear order, and removed in LIFO order.
- This is worth merging this late in 2.7 because it will avoid
considerable future grief with management layers needing to
discover whether out-of-order hotplug is possible, amongst
other things.
- For now we do add a constraint that the initial cpu cannot be
unplugged.
* We add two extra testcases to make check, for postcopy and
drive_del on ppc64.
- Not strictly bugfixes, but safe, because they don't affect the
actual code, and increase test coverage.
