If you're referring to "hw/display/sm501: Implement more 2D raster operations" 
then it's already
queued in ppc-next. In fact I believe you can re-send it with this series, with 
my r-b, and whoever
gets to send the PR can send everything at once.

If either Gerd of Phil wants to pick these up I have already acked the pegasos2 
changes.

If you want me to get this via qemu-ppc bear in mind that I need to send the PR 
March 7th
at the latest.


Thanks,


Daniel
