ajax, What do you mean by a pci revision id bump? Do you want it in qemu or the kernel? Why is a revision bump needed when none of the behavior of the cirrus device has changed?

revision bump would be needed when adding a new interface (not present in real hardware) to allow for larger pitches, so you could use 32bpp with the default (1024x768) resolution.

    I heartily agree, people should stop using cirrus.  And qemu
    should stop
    defaulting to it.  Since neither has happened yet, enhancing
    the
    emulation holds the promise of making the future better...

I'll try flip the default. That is more sane than pimping up the cirrus emulation.
