- crash with gdb server
- net socket connect broken
Fixed in rc4
- commit 9c37146782e785 accidentally disabled a lot of the linux-user netlink support code, because the headers don't define IFLA_BR_* and IFLA_BRPORT_* as C preprocessor constants, so #ifdef IFLA_BRPORT_ID etc don't do what you might hope

Fixed in rc2
wxx: Truncate files used for character devices
Will not be fixed for 2.7
- trying to attach a vhost-user device causes a segfault -- this is not a regression (was present in 2.6), so we'll fix it in 2.8
