I went ahead and created it as a mirror.  If there is consensus on moving it
to qemu.org as a primary host, I can convert it (and I'll need to set you up
an account on qemu.org as well at that point, for those occasional
bugfixes).

For now, keep your repo up as a primary source until we know if we are
moving it to qemu.org rather than just mirroring it.
