I asked Michael if he could send a qemu-trivial@ pullreq last month when Laurent was on PTO and he said he hasn't done it in years. Indeed: $ git log --committer='Michael Tokarev' commit 9a232487aab8a7640ff8853d7d8d7c27106b44f8 Date: Fri Apr 13 18:45:45 2018 +0200 So I think you are trying to commit obsolete information. Anyway, up to Michael to adjust. Thanks for rstifying the doc :) Phil.
