** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * qemu Upstream maintains stable branches to collect considered
+ to be safe patches - we are at 2.11.1 atm and requested to consider
+ the most recent 2.11.2
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Being a stable but full minor release means there is no single good
+ test to verify. Instead we will pass plenty of regression checks on it
+ before calling it good.
+ * The biggest single change is on intel-iommu which we will test
+ explicitly using manual passthrough tests
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * Due to the nature of the change (more than a single fix, affecting
+ multiple areas of qemu) the chances are higher to hit a regression.
+ To avoid hitting any in the field I'll run the full qemu regression
+ suite we have but also would want to leave it longer in proposed and
+ e.g. ask the Openstack Team to give it a test before releasing.
+ * In regard to "327d4645 spapr: make pseries-2.11 the default machine
+ type" and its siblings as well as VSMT which caused trouble in the past
+ we will need IBM to re-check for PPC if the resulting build is ok
+ according to their testing as well.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * Lets make sure we catched all pre-checks:
+ #1 TBD - Openstack to test the PPA
+ #2 TBD - IBM to confirm no issues around HTM / VSMT being added
+ #3 TBD - Canonical migration and general Virt regression checks
+ Only once those are all confirmed we will put it into SRU review and
+ there retest #3 and the passthrough cases.

Since June 2018 QEMU has a more recent stable version (2.11.2) than the one
provided in Ubuntu 18.04.1 (2.11.1). This new version comes with a number of
bug fixes, which should be incorporated to Ubuntu 18.04.1.
