Merge lp://qastaging/~brightbox/ubuntu/maverick/qemu-kvm/qemu-kvm.fix-697197 into lp://qastaging/ubuntu/maverick/qemu-kvm

Looks good, thanks for doing this, Neil.

I'm going to update it just slightly, as this debdiff will need to go through the security queue, since there's an associated CVE. I'll prep that upload and the security team will sponsor it into maverick-security.

I'll get it uploaded to natty now.

The last thing I need you to do is to email your patch to the qemu-devel mailing list. The maintainers do not accept patches solely attached to bugs in Launchpad. Their processes require that you email the patch to the mailing list. Sorry for the run-around. Cheers!

Dustin,

I've been following the discussion on the qemu development list and
they are going for a complete rewrite of the associated functions to
get rid of the overloaded behaviour. There's an ongoing discussion
with the RedHat boys about it.

Additionally I think this patch needs to go into Lucid as well.

Thanks, I ported the debdiff for lucid-security too.

I can't follow the qemu-devel list in detail any more. Would you mind
just dropping me a note once they get their fixes for this issue in
git HEAD?

Cheers,
Dustin

Will do.

It may take some time to resolve - a few differences of opinion to
iron out as ever.
