ChangeLog/1.1

System emulation

All targets

• qdev properties of type hex8 and hex32 used to accept hexadecimal values not prefixed with "0x"; the prefix is mandatory starting with this version. These properties are: iobase, membase, io_base for all devices that support the properties; vram_size for sysbus-g364 and SUNW,tcx; version for sb16 and iommu; ctl_iobase and data_iobase for fw_cfg; readback for debugcon; elcr_addr and elcr_mask for i8259.
  PCI addresses can still be addressed with a pair of hexadecimal device and function without a "0x" prefix.
