Thank you, Gerd and Stefan.

Stefan, if your staging tree is eligible for rebasing, I propose to add
the following pointers to the commit message (on patch #1):

Ref: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/50778
Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1623276
Ref: https://bugzilla.proxmox.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1182
Ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1356762

If you think that's overkill, then please consider adding just the
Launchpad reference.

Thanks!
Laszlo
