Linaro QEMU 2011.11 released

[Peter Maydell]

The Linaro Toolchain Working Group is pleased to announce the
release of Linaro QEMU 2011.11.

Linaro QEMU 2011.11 is the latest monthly release of
qemu-linaro. Based off upstream (trunk) QEMU, it includes a
number of ARM-focused bug fixes and enhancements.

New in this month's release:
 - The ARM vexpress-a9, versatilepb, versatileab and realview-*
   boards now have audio support (thanks to Mathieu Sonet who
   contributed a PL041 implementation upstream)
 - Support for multiple instances of the "-sd" option on the
   command line has been dropped; this was never present in
   upstream QEMU and has been removed for consistency. Use
   "-drive,if=sd,index=N,file=file.img" for N=0,1,2... instead
 - Fixes #886980: 8 and 16 bit reads from the OMAP GPIO module
   would crash due to an infinite recursion
 - Fixes #823902: problems running multithreaded programs in
   linux-user mode

Known issues:
 - Graphics do not work for OMAP3 based models (beagle, overo)
   with 11.10 Linaro images.

NB: if you run QEMU on a host system without properly configured
audio you might find that QEMU now hangs at some point; you can
fix this by fixing your host system, or work around it by setting
the environment variable QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none.
If you build from source you may now want to pass configure
a suitable --audio-drv-list=LIST option.
