At least the CRC64 change smells like a -stable material, - the bug
is present in, for example, qemu-7.2 too. But I don't know how important
it is to keep nvme updated in 8.0 or before, and what the outcome of this
bug is, to begin with. Somehow I think nvme was in preliminary shape
before 8.0.

Are the other changes also relevant for -stable?

Please keep Cc: qemu-stable@nongnu.org for anything you think is worth
to have in previous/stable releases.

Thanks,
