The "ch" prefix is incorrect, it should be "qemu" instead since that's the driver you've modified.

This is way too detailed for the release notes. Just mention that a new feature for RISC-V KVM domains has been introduced. In case you haven't realized that, it appears that all the patches you've sent so far (including previous iterations of this series) show up as individual messages rather than threads. Please try to convince your tooling (git-publish, git-send-email) to use proper threading. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
