Doesn't it make sense to push these sorts of changes to Fabrice and not
include them as a Xen patch until they're included in upstream qemu?
Otherwise, how do we avoid ending up back in the same place where we
have a huge pile of Xen specific patches making it very difficult to
rebase to a new version of qemu?

I don't think that we will end up in the same place because we keep
each feature as a separate patch.  It would certainly be good to push
changes which are generic enough to Fabrice, but I don't think we want
to wait with including the changes until they get included in an
upstream qemu version, especially since we will still be quite slow in
upgrading qemu.

Do you want to push suitable changes to Fabrice?  Anybody?
