A couple of days are certainly OK ... but could we please avoid being stuck 
in the current situation for many more weeks? The slowness of the migration 
tests are really slowing down my turnaround times, and I think they 
contribute to the timeouts of the Travis CI tests that I'm currently facing, 
and likely also contributed to the issue that the QEMU project ran out of 
Gitlab CI minutes again last month (which is thankfully mostly hidden by the 
new private Linux runners, but some things like the Windows runners were not 
available anymore). So I'd appreciate if we'd rather get a speed up here 
merged rather sooner than later.

That's fine, please take them through your tree!
