How about stop using cirrus and go for 'qemu -vga std' instead?
Linux kernel 3.14+ comes with a modesetting driver for the qemu standard vga (CONFIG_DRM_BOCHS). Just switch over, and all your cirrus pain is gone.
That is much better than trying use features the real cirrus hardware never had, then praying that all qemu versions in the wild are actually doing what you want qemu do.
I was going to ask for a pci revision id bump at the same time, so the guest could know.
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...
