Hi there,
I commented on the original bug in Launchpad. We're willing and able
to carry the patch against qemu-kvm in Ubuntu, I just asked that the
reporter at least submit the patch upstream for discussion. I don't
see where that has happened yet. It's a trivial patch to submit.
Please note in that bug a pointer to the mailing list thread, if you
start one.
To your specific question, different communities have different
requirements on patch submission, so you do need to consult each
community. A good place to start might be the
Documentation/SubmittingPatches how-to in the kernel tree:
*
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob_plain;f=Documentation/SubmittingPatches;hb=HEAD
In this case, I think you're going to want to send your patch to the
qemu-devel (on CC) mailing list (perhaps in addition to sending it
here, to the kvm list).
