Hrmph... Guess we have to get better at remembering this when we do
reviews as the last few release cycles there's been a need to update
news.xml appropriately at the last moment...

FWIW:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2017-August/msg00953.html

No one ACK'd it yet...  The 1/2 of the v2 series was pushed from the v1
posting, but v2 looks lost in the volume ;-(

IDC how you decide to "handle" that - either apply Kothapally's change
or go with yours...

The way this reads it seems it could be libvirt 2.10...  I'd go with
"QEMU 2.10" (although some will point out it's possible to backport
things into earlier versions)...

Should we state for all the daemon's fixed? Looks very strange naked
like this unless you know "daemon" means more than one place.

This option has not been working properly since v3.0.0.
