Bug Description

Qemu 2.10 had a bunch of issues, more than usual as qemu otherwise is pretty stable.
Therefore there is a rather fast first stable release to clean up a bit.

This is a pure bug fix no feature update, it should be ok to push that into Artful still and we should absolutely do so.

This will also close some CVEs which will avoid the security Team having to work on day-1 of Artful to fix it immediately.

Tests with the ppa at [1] show no new regression (only a few known issues unrelated to the change - but those were not expected to be fixed by the stable release, need test adaptions to the new qemu actually).
To be sure I ran the tests twice, all goods (and the known bads) reproducible.

That said the stable release can be uploaded into Artful to fix at least all the issues covered in that.

Note: the versioning scheme follows Debian which did not bump the third version.
Also since we went ahead of Debian due to Artful FF we want to avoid to have colliding version numbers which avoids ever have conflicting orig tarballs.

@paelzer, should this be assigned to you? Not sure if there is an explicit request here for someone else to pick this up?

@Nish - thanks for checking, it was already uploaded at that point.
As seen in c#4 all is done.
