By the way, I still can't find this in your github tree. I was hoping we
could get this in for 7.1.

As for your 5.8 issue, I've been trying to reproduce that to understand
more about it, but I'm unable to. I've been trying with
nommu_virt_defconfig using my patch ontop of qemu master. Maybe it's
possible in testing this out you were testing the wrong branch? Anyway,
it'd be nice to get this queued up...
