Hi, I've seen my patch (http://repo.or.cz/w/qemu/aliguori-queue.git?a=commit;h=2286b94c7458cd6d72883990b53500194975c2ff) in the staging tree, but the patch relies on a previous patch (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-10/msg01316.html) I sent that I cannot find in the staging tree, nor committed. So here is the missing patch again, against current head.
