I think that for the minor architectures we just have to make
sure that we do yell loudly when things are broken, because
the nature of things is that people won't notice. Maybe we should
have a qemu-urgent list to parallel qemu-trivial for compile
fixes, reversions of bad breakage, etc, to try to keep them
out of the general noise ?
