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.

Fixed in rc1:

• linux-user static builds fail with glibc git master due to removed "stime" function https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1852115

Not yet fixed in any rc:

• intermittent iotest failures on gitlab (build-tcg-disabled - tests 056, 129)
