I have no problem with that. Actually, I had checked the qemu commit log,
but somehow I had missed missed the commits there.

I absolutely agree.
I repeated the test on the mainline kernel with qemu v5.1-rc3, and it works.
I also made sure that older versions of Linux still work with the qemu
v5.1.0-rc3. So everything is good, and sorry for the noise.
