Can you configure your mailer to send related patches threaded to one
another (or at least all as a reply to the 0/9 cover-letter), rather
than starting an independent thread for each mail in the series?  'git
send-email' can do this.  Also, some of your mails came through twice;
for example:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-May/msg00437.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-May/msg00441.html

which has the tendency to cause review confusion.
