Log Message:
Changes 2.1.0:
Incompatible changes:
---------------------
The 82573L NIC was incorrectly treated as an 8254xx model. It no longer works 
correctly on either Linux (3.14.*) or Windows 7 and has been removed.
On x86, migration from QEMU 1.7 to QEMU 2.0 was broken if the guest had PCI 
bridges or for some number of CPUs (12, 13, 14, 54, 55, 56, 97, 98, 99, 139, 
140) are the only ones). QEMU 2.1 fixes this, so that migration from QEMU 1.7 
to QEMU 2.1 should always work. However, the fix breaks the following scenarios 
instead:
migration from QEMU 2.0 to QEMU 2.1 with PCI bridges and machine types 
pc-i440fx-1.7/pc-i440fx-2.0
migration from QEMU 2.0 to QEMU 2.1 with the aforementioned number of CPUs and 
machine type pc-i440fx-1.7

Future incompatible changes:
----------------------------
Three options are using different names on the command line and in 
configuration file. In particular:
The "acpi" configuration file section matches command-line option "acpitable";
The "boot-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "boot";
The "smp-opts" configuration file section matches command-line option "smp".
Starting with QEMU xyz.jkl, -readconfig will standardize on the name for the 
command line option.
