Let's get specific.  What was committed post hard freeze that's not a
bug fix?

The only thing I'm aware of is q35.  I asked Michael not to merge that
(he planned to) prior to the hard freeze because there was a specific
change I wanted to be made.  Normally, PCI bits would go through
Michael's tree but I felt the change really needed to be made.

So I agreed to take the bits post hard freeze so the change could be
made.  This is really was an exceptional case though and I don't think
it warrants a change in the description of hard freeze.  This was all
discussed on the mailing list too FWIW.
