So I can release kvm-85. I don't like it either.
You don't need to commit it:
1. KVM on ia64 has made it for this long without that patch.
Apparently, this was triggered by recent changes to the dma-api? Xiantao?
2. The ia64 guys didn't even reply, much less revise the patch.
See below.
3. The patch quality is clearly not high enough to be committed to
qemu (at least, one would hope), so you're just going to have to
revert it to apply a better fix anyways.
I agree that the patch is not correct. If it is not fixed by the end of
this month, you may send a patch to revert this change.
I don't see why all ia64 patches had to be applied for kvm-85,
regardless of merit.
I like to make releases that are not useless. For that I sometimes have
to resort to band-aids. Comments like yours about the quality of these
band aids will be addressed.
