I have those in my fixes-test branch. While testing one of them I
stumbled on some issues that I've been trying to confirm are existing
and not regressions.

But I plan for those fixes to hit rc3.

Yes, it was. I now have an even better one, with a new personal
milestone reached (500 qemu boot tests):

Build results:
total: 152 pass: 152 fail: 0
Qemu test results:
total: 500 pass: 500 fail: 0
   ^^^

... after getting yet another qemu machine to boot.

Let's hope so. I think I forgot to copy the ppc maintainers last week,
so we'll see if we get some feedback on the status of those problems.

Woo-hoo!

That was quick, for once.

Oh.

Well, close enough, and those fixes are presumably pending too.
