So, the QEMU part ended up taking longer than expected and only
landed a few days ago, so it's going to show up in 4.2.0 instead of
the expected 4.1.0; additionally, through testing Drew and I have
found a few areas where the behavior could be improved.

As a result, [v1] is in some areas different enough from the version
you ACKed that it would not have been appropriate for me to just go
ahead and push it. (On the other hand, a bunch of commits are
basically unchanged and I could have included your R-b when posting,
my bad!)

Would you mind taking a look at the refreshed version? I have
included a reasonably detailed summary of the changes below: the
tl;dr is that only two of the eleven patches will require more than
a cursory look, so hopefully that's not too much bother.

Thanks in advance! :)
