[Xen-devel] More QEMU gcc-9.1 build issues

[Dario Faggioli <dfaggioli@xxxxxxxx>]

Hey Anthony,

There's more of those issues related to building our QEMU with recent
(the one in openSUSE Tumbleweed) GCC:

gcc version 9.1.1 20190723 [gcc-9-branch revision 273734] (SUSE Linux)

I've just tried building staging, and run into this:

make: *** [/home/dario/src/xen.git/tools/qemu-xen-dir/rules.mak:69:

I fixed it by manually importing the following upstream commit:

94932c95c10 "qxl: avoid unaligned pointer reads/writes"
