QEMU's integrator model is really very minimally maintained.
A lot of its code is still using out of date ways of doing
things and hasn't been updated in years; my only test case
for it is an ancient 2.6.17 kernel. vexpress is rather
more maintained and I do at least occasionally test with
new kernels.

I'm entirely happy to accept and review integrator patches though.

Thanks. This version Reviewed-by: Peter Maydell <address@hidden>
and I've applied it to my target-arm tree. May get into
1.7 but possibly not til 1.8.

PS: doesn't matter for this one but for future patches,
version-2 patches are better sent as separate top level
emails with a "[PATCH v2]" subject line tag; peoples'
patch workflow generally assumes that.
