The thing with cirrus is that it's the default in many cases (libvirt, openstack, you name it it's there...) so it would be good to get it working. I already have fixes for the X driver (mostly some bugs where it stores PCI physical addresses in 32-bit quantities) and I'm fixing cirrusfb now but the later hits the color expansion path, so it looks like we'll have to fix kvm/ppc to do the right thing there too :-) Cheers, Ben. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
