What exactly would you need in Ubuntu Phillp?
Latest qemu would atm be on 2.12 with the git available here [1].
Unfortunately mostly nobody cares about the git branches so I forgot to
push this one - shame on me :-/, it is ready now thou.

I couldn't follow all of the thread, do you need something else than qemu
code to be updated, if so which package would that be?
