Known issues

Please list all patch series or bugs which need to be fixed for the release here. That way I can be sure I don't miss any when I'm rolling release candidates.

Still unfixed

• Zynq ADC controller
• migration doesn't work on OSX (migrate_init zeroes out the mutex)
• migration/ram.c 32-bit compile fixes
• i386/ahci/migrate/dma/halted test hang reported by afaerber
• pending pull req from afaerber (expected Friday)

Fixed in rc0

• netmap.c compile failures
• Mac OS 9 compatibility improvements (upstream rework)
• fix Highbank model by adding board setup blob
• migration: fix analyze-migration.py script
• revert of VHOST_RESET_DEVICE change
• bugs in ARM gdbstub singlestep and breakpoint handling
• configure barfs if there's no c++ compiler (fortify-source test is assuming $cxx is defined)
