Just for you to understand. This bug is _very_ unlikely will be addressed here, most likely it'll sit in the bugtracker forever. The reason is simple: one has to have your hardware to replicate this issue, AND one has to be knowlegeable in the area of device pass-through. You can _try_ to ask upstream about this, maybe this will work better - because at least one of the requiriments will be met in this case. Maybe you'll have the ability to communicate this matter and will be able to provide enough info or debugging for it to be fixed. I definitely wont be a broken phone between you and upstream. At any rate, I don't think the severity of this bug is important. Qemu works for very large number of users, just very specific use case fails. Marking as minor. I'm not trying to be rude or something, I'm just describing the situation. Thanks, /mjt
