Thanks for submitting this bug.

I will go ahead and do a sync, but I'm not convinced we want to pursue FFE for this in oneiric,a s it could take some time to shake down bugs from interactions between new qemu and current libvirt.

http://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/0.15 shows the new features.

The merge is very clean, and the result tests well. Q debdiff is attached.

Does this require a new build dep of librbd-dev (universe)?

This tiny debdiff also needs to be applied to ipxe, as qemu-kvm changed where it looks for the pxe roms.

Why "Wont't fix"? I'd expect "won't fix" in oneiric, but won't fix ever? Do you expect qemu-kvm 0.16 to be used instead?

I'll sync the latest version as soon as P opens. No need for an open bug or FFE for that.

The current qemu roadmap mentions 1.0 rc being tagged and frozen in november, so jumping to that may be a possibility.
