Yes, I know.  That was the idea that when the patches are split
logically, it's possible to push one part without waiting for other
one.

I'm sorry if I disappointed you somehow.  At first I wanted to make it
for the 1.2.9 release, so we might get some upstream and usage from
libvirt users.  Even though I didn't make it, I already had many
reviews and it was easy to fix what people requested.  And because I
had some ACKs and it was after release, there's a whole release cycle
to try out for everyone else if they want (unfortunately they can't
try that with the official release, but have to go with git).

If you doubt that, it already worked.  Thanks to pushing it, Eric
found some typos, Peter found out that there's no ABI stability check
in qemu driver and that's just a start.

I did not plan to, so feel free to continue with that, I'm focusing on
different things now.  But if it's updated in qemu and there's no
progress, I might look into that because it would be nice to have
libvirt supporting the server as well.

Have a nice day,
Martin
