Huh, QEMU development does not have merge windows. Subsystem maintainers
should review patch series at any time & queue it if it is acceptable.
The freeze process only applies to maintainers sending pull requests for
merge to git mater.  Contributors shouldn't be expected to resubmit
patches in this case.
