Hmm. I'm not really sure what the right thing is, so what
I'm planning to do is:
 * just apply the qemu-char fix for now
 * not tag -rc4 today
 * see if things are clearer on Monday (I see Igor has now
   sent out a patchset)
 * tag -rc4 Mon or Tues
 * slip the release date a few days (not a big deal, I think)
