This was submitted to qemu-devel ages ago -- 27-Aug-2010 according to my
archives.   That was in fact the second time it was submitted (by
Stefano) but it was never picked up despite a couple of reminders :-(

This is the original thread on xen-devel:
http://markmail.org/thread/fikfzaxgaj4ay6oe

And the resend-thread in qemu-devel:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2010-08/msg01515.html

I think the patch you proposed, Eamon, is the same as the one that
didn't work properly -- it's certainly a lot simpler than the two-part
patch that I wrote (and that patch has been in production for OracleVM
for a while, it seems solid).
