Hmm various patches aren't reviewed yet... In particular
patch #5 has a Suggested-by tag without Reviewed-by, this
looks odd.

See https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPullRequest:

  Don't send pull requests for code that hasn't passed review.
  A pull request says these patches are ready to go into QEMU now,
  so they must have passed the standard code review processes. In
  particular if you've corrected issues in one round of code review,
  you need to send your fixed patch series as normal to the list;
  you can't put it in a pull request until it's gone through.
  (Extremely trivial fixes may be OK to just fix in passing, but
  if in doubt err on the side of not.)
