  * Added Changes
    - update VCS-git to match the bionic branch
    - sdl2 is yet too unstable for the LTS Ubuntu release given the reports
      we still see upstream and in Debian - furthermore sdl2 isn't in main yet,
      so we revert related changes to stick with the proven for now:
      - 0fd25810 - do not build-depend on libx11-dev (libsdl2-dev already
                   depends on it)
      - 9594f820 - switch from sdl1.2 to sdl2 (#870025)
    - d/qemu-system-x86.README.Debian: document intention of nested being
      default is comfort, not full support
    - update Ubuntu machine types for qemu 2.11
    - qemu-guest-agent: freeze-hook fixes (LP: #1484990)
      - d/p/guest-agent-freeze-hook-skip-dpkg-artifacts.patch

      - d/p/ubuntu/pre-bionic-256k-ipxe-efi-roms.patch: old machine types
        reference 256k path

        handle incoming migrations from former releases.
    - d/control-in: enable seccomp on s390x
  * Dropped changes (no more needed):
    - Dropped VHOST_NET_ENABLED and KVM_HUGEPAGES from /etc/default/qemu-kvm
      The functionality is retained for upgraders, but is deprecated.
      Post 18.04 the implementation for these configurations will be removed.
  * Dropped changes (in Debian now):
    - ppc64[le] support
      - Enable seccomp for ppc64el
      - bump libseccomp-dev dependency, 2.3 is the minimum for ppc64
    - disable missing x32 architecture
    - d/rules: or32 is now named or1k (since 4a09d0bb)
    - d/qemu-system-common.docs: new paths since (ac06724a)
    - d/qemu-system-common.install: qmp-commands.txt removed, but replaced
      by qapi-schema.json which is already packaged (since 4d8bb958)

      dh_missing that are already provided in other formats qemu-doc,
      qemu-qmp-ref,qemu-ga-ref
  * Dropped changes (integrated upstream):
    - d/p/detect-ITS-and-skip-usage-on-older-kernel.patch to avoid crashes
      on arm64 when doing suspend/resume and reboots due to older kernels not
      supporting ITS (LP 1731051).
    - Apply linux-user-return-EINVAL-from-prctl-PR_-_SECCOMP.patch from
      James Cowgill to prevent qemu-user from forwarding prctl seccomp
      calls (LP 1726394)

qemu: fast processor emulator

 QEMU is a fast processor emulator: currently the package supports
 ARM, CRIS, i386, M68k (ColdFire), MicroBlaze, MIPS, PowerPC, SH4,
 SPARC and x86-64 emulation. By using dynamic translation it achieves
 reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs. QEMU has
 two operating modes:
 .
  * User mode emulation: QEMU can launch Linux processes compiled for
    one CPU on another CPU.
  * Full system emulation: QEMU emulates a full system, including a
    processor and various peripherals. It enables easier testing and
    debugging of system code. It can also be used to provide virtual
    hosting of several virtual machines on a single server.
 .
 As QEMU requires no host kernel patches to run, it is very safe and
 easy to use.
 .
 This package is a metapackage depending on all qemu-related packages.

 reasonable speed while being easy to port on new host CPUs.
 .
 This package provides a daemon (agent) to run inside qemu-system
 guests (full system emulation). It communicates with the host using
 a virtio-serial channel org.qemu.guest_agent.0, and allows one to perform
 some functions in the guest from the host, including:
  - querying and setting guest system time
  - performing guest filesystem sync operation
  - initiating guest shutdown or suspend to ram
  - accessing guest files
  - freezing/thawing guest filesystem operations
  - others.
 .
 Install this package on a system which is running as guest inside
 qemu virtual machine. It is not used on the host.
