This is all very nice but

>       $(INSTALL) -m 644 qemu-doc.html  qemu-tech.html "$(DESTDIR)$(docdir)"

these are parts of the Makefile which come from upstream qemu.
I definitely don't want to modify those parts.  Everything which is
done in the makefiles in qemu-xen-unstable is aimed at avoiding large
textual changes which make merging difficult.  We don't want changes
in our versions of the upstream makefiles which are not absolutely
necessary to make things work.

It's not clear to me by inspection whether I can safely apply the
other parts of your qemu patch on their own.  Can you confirm ?

Ian.
