So opening this bug to track the proper backport, when it lands upstream. Maybe we just wait until the next stable release if it's not urgent...

Gerd, is this qxl patch likely to get into qemu 2.8?

Oops, that didn't went as planned.

Patch queued up, but didn't end up in a pull request.  Given that we are at blockers-only for 2.8 meanwhile I guess this means merging post-2.8 and cherry-picking into 2.8.1 ...

Tried a pull req nevertheless and stefan accepted it, so 2.8 comes with the fix.

Okay, this was build for rawhide with -rc3, and incoming for F25, so just closing
