Does the kernel have to boot under the latest QEMU release?
For device tree support I would think so. An older Linaro release for U-Boot should be fine too. Maybe John Crigby could provide more details here.
Mounir, are you asking: (a) "Does the kernel require the latest QEMU release to boot, i.e. we don't support running newer kernels on older QEMUs" or (b) "Do we require the kernel to boot on the latest QEMU release, i.e. if it doesn't we hold release until we fix one or the other" ?
The first is true in practice anyway. The second is a nice ideal but could be tricky to achieve in practice...
